I bet you couldn't build one for what they are asking
Sunbeam Tiger
 
could definatly buy an original Tiger that needs restoration for that, then at least you'd have an original one not an Alpine wannabe.
 
There is a very nice Tiger clone here in Calgary, the owner rather freely admits that it's not a real Tiger, I know it's one of my favourite local Brit cars and a treat to see it...

I think it's a good thing to keep these cars mostly original, but with the crazy pricing on original Tigers nowadays, I wouldn't hesitate to clone an Alpine into a Tiger.

Very carefully, of course, retaining as many Alpine parts as poss.

Why? Nice Alpines can be had for $10-$15K. Nice Tigers are way up in the thirties and forties, with no end in sight.

That's a big diff. :yesnod:
