Greetings all! I'm the proud owner of a '78 Spitfire, and the opportunity to purchase a Tiger just fell into my lap. I am considering it, but I'm having some trouble getting a feel for what these cars are worth. I'm hoping for a bit of guidance from the fine folks here
The car's license plate frame says "1967" Tiger, but the VIN code has the car as a '66 1a. The engine plate also says "Alpine 260 V8" on it.
The car looks complete. It's been sitting in a container in CA for the last 20+ years, so dry-rot could be an issue. Both doors and one quarter are badly caved in. Otherwise it looks straight and clean.
I haven't seen the interior. Engine bay looks clean. Looks like the proper air cleaner is on it. There's rust on the intake manifold so I'm guessing it's not a replacement.
It's got the JAL-79 fiberglass hood on it. There are aluminum wheels with the 3-prong knockoffs.
Can we make a ballpark on what I should expect to pay for a car like this? Anything specific I should look for or ask about?
Thanks for any advice,
-Joe
