I don't normally advocate this kind of thing, but this car may be beyond restoration. Add this (almost Challenge priced right now):

a + b / Vin swap = potential cheap 'genuine' Tiger

Anyone capable of allowing a real Tiger to deteriorate to that condition is a candidate for the Death Penalty. I had a friend in Mensa back in the day that had two of them that looked showroom new. Wonder what happened to all of them.

I would have been afraid to stand beneath it and take photos when it was on the lift.

The Alpine looks pretty nice. Too bad about the Tiger. Looks like somebody drove it on the beach and never washed it.

I saw an alpine in pick and pull today in about the same condition as that tiger, but maybe a little more rust. It was pretty much all there though.

The Tiger sold for $5800.

The cynic in me thinks that that's a heck of a lot of money to pay for a VIN...
