Thats better but what about "modified" as in really modified which includes engine,body and interior.Or in other words far from stock.
The Lister has stock doors.stock bumpers and stock headlights.Nothing else is stock.The 62 has fender flares.modified suspension etc.
I maybe blowing my own horn but I'm sure there is others far from stock.I do not mean personalized as to color etc.
Now to the nitty gritty.I am not worried about winning trophies as I do have a couple from Suni which is all I need to have.The cars have the miles on them so really to place is not so likely anyway.The 62 has about 180000 miles now.I changed the V6 to the Ford racing 302 engine at 175000 miles.I really was trying for 200000 but it was tired.The Lister has been on the road since 1994 so it has a few miles.My cars are drivers and will never be a concours,

As to which one I will bring will be decided most likely just before leaving

Hi Chuck

You make some excellent points. I suggest some additional discussion, both on the forum and by the Invasion XI folks, is appropriate and necessary. Thanks for the input.

Chuck,
The Spirit of Lister is a car I've been wanting to see in person since I heard about your build years ago. As it looks like I won't be able to make the Invasion, I'm going to be severely bummed if this is the car you bring.

Chuck:
Excellent points on modified cars. We went to Maine to the TE/AE United
with the Alpine entered as a modified car on the regristration form....
however it seems that everthing is personalized now and, we,re all lumped
in one class I find it hard to fathom that a V6 Alpine is not modified, or
a Tiger with a 5 speed and a 347 for that matter, we got dunned for not having an owners manual, jack etc. there are a lot of modified cars and the classes should be set accordingly, and as you stated at SUNI we got an award for a modified car just my O2's worth (wonder what will happen when we show up with the Tiger were building)

Hi Joel

I could maybe if I stretched it go with a 5 speed as personalized if all else was exactly stock.Personalized though to me is maybe paint color or interior color.I believe that 3 minor choices or changes under personalized used to put a car into modified.Engine changes.Body mods.Interior mods etc.You get the picture.That is MODIFIED.
Fortuantely I no longer care if I'm judged or not so it does not bother me.
I have taken the Lister to some shows and hardly ever sat down as i end up talking to so many people and then we have to see their car.I get quite a few beer offered this way.I was invited to bring the Lister to the big Rodorama this weekend but declined even though I would not have to pay.
I do think Joel you will have many interested people talking to you if you bring that Tiger

All of this is why we had a somewhat different breakdown of categories at Invasion V. Don't remember them all, but two were "Best Red Alpine" and Best Non-Red Alpine". The long distance award, the "Hard Ass Award" (a steel implement seat) was won by George Farrell. The next morning he packed it up and set off for Kentucky Lake for some fishing, about 250 miles farther away!

Ah yes, those were the days.

The point being are there really any un modified cars? (Im sure we'll get a lot
of opinions on that) don't think well have the Tiger ready for some time just
took the crossmember model to be lasered out yesterday did finish the rear
however enjoy Mn. looks like we may not make it!
