Sorry, but when I copied and pasted the web address just now, I got the "Page Not Found - This page no longer exists or has moved" message. Guess I was too slow. But thanks for posting the information. Maybe it will pop up somewhere else.

Interesting pictures in Craigslist ad. Probably a scary car to drive back in the day. Hope someone can bring it back to the strip.

Interesting. But that hardtop looks more like the stock aluminum hardtop for a Series 1 or 2 Alpine, which would not fit a Tiger without modifications (the body or the hardtop). Just look at the shape of the cutout for the side window to see that it was not designed for a Tiger or a Series 3 - 5 Alpine. But it does have the windwings in front of the side windows, like a Tiger or Series 3 - 5 Alpine.

Yes to sI/II top. You can see the screen fit at sides of screen is not right. The rear pins will work.. Side b posts you have to bolt down.. Obviously sidr windows wont work.

There is a dark blue tiger with silver early top that rallies in germany.. They made perspex side windows and use the early screen
