Frankly, as a Tiger owner, I would have to agree with you guys' assessment of Tiger values. I think that one of the only reasons that Tigers took off on value is because of all the press they've gotten over the past four or so years. All of a sudden, it seems like they were in all the classic car magazines and were being touted as the "up and coming" collectible sports car. Perhaps it's because the values of most of the Tiger's British contemporaries, such as the big Healey and the E-Type, had already started going up and were getting to the place where they were just not as affordable for the average "Joe enthusiast" anymore.
$100,000 Tigers? No, I doubt we'll ever see that. In fact, I don't look for them to rise much beyond the level that they have currently achieved. As far as I'm concerned, I'm satisfied with that. For someone of modest means, I consider myself lucky to have a Tiger. I've been down the road of the much sought-after collector car when I owned my '65 Shelby G.T. 350. It was fun but the value of the car got to the point where it represented so much of my net worth that it became a museum piece; I felt like I should no longer drive it. That is, of course, when I sold it. I would hate for Tigers to get to that point; I enjoy driving the car too much.
