Didn’t have time yesterday to write a full report on this Tiger, so here we go:
Exterior: The car is a 20 footer, but when you get close the paint job is really bad. It as runs and drips and just doesn’t look good, looks like an amateur job.
Does have some bondo, both front quarters and both back quarters had some work but it looks like the bondo only runs about 2-3 inches up. The hard top is in good shape except the glass and the headliner, easy fix.
Interior: everything needs to be restored, you can drive it as is but should have a total make over. The MG seats stink, the angle of the front seats make it a tight squeeze getting in and out, also very little room between your knees and the steering wheel.
Undercarriage: As the photos show it does look good under the car, the floors will have to be replaced and the rear of the trunk (where the cross over tubes sits) is rust through, not bad but will need attention. The trunk floor has some holes but may be able to be patched instead of replacing the whole floor.
Engine: Does look like the original engine but I was not able to determine that for sure.
Cranked a few times and it came to life, sounds good and strong with no smoke on start up or running.
The brakes will have to be rebuilt but what Alpine or Tiger hasn’t had that done!!
The exhaust is not original and not sure when it was replaced.
ID Tags look good and it doesn’t look like they have been tampered with.
This car will need work, but for the money it may go for it will make a nice investment.
I would buy this car over the red one that is up for auction on e-bay now.
Not sure about the body or frame of the red one and what would it cost to put it right.
This White car is solid and would be an easy fix.
