I see Bret Simpson's former Tiger that Dennis Collins purchased is now on BAT. Apparently, as I viewed the Worldwide auction in January, it did not sale for $57,000 bid after the auction. The Tiger is at the Collins Brothers Jeep dealership in Texas.

Did Tiger VIN plates not have raised letters and numbers like Alpine plates?

Mike, the Tigers all had VIN stamped from the top.

As a side note... So did all the Alpines up to series IV when they started the neater reversed stamping with actually alignment.
