quote CLEVITE:
Rivets are not the only way to tell a Tiger from a fake.
Your car can be authenticated as a Tiger even if you are missing the VIN plate, much less the rivets. There have been Algers identified that had the VIN plate and correct rivets. The Alger builder just cut the panel from the Tiger and installed it on the Alpine. Rivets are not close to a sure indicator these days. Wait till these cars hit the $100K money, the TAC will be very important if not required.
Have you seen all of the stink over Shelby suing the SAAC for their registry database? It is because that database can identify fake Shelby cars. Shelby is quite the snake you know.
I plan on having my Tiger TACed at TU 31 this year.
