I certainly did not want to come off as an elitist. I am not.

I bought a Sunbeam "Tiger" in 1994 from a collector car dealer in downtown San Diego (I hope they are out of business). The car turned out to be a fake. I paid $17,000 for it.

The dealer claimed that it was a "consignment" car and would not give me the sellers name. I traded in a very nice 59 Bugeyed sprite and lot of $$$$ for it. I was not educated about the car and made a stupid purchase. Lesson learned.

Luckily for me I wrecked it and the insurance covered the cost of the car and for what I cleared I bought a 67 MGB GT.

So, I have some issues with fake/clone/Alger cars being produced.

BTW – that car’s VIN was B382000326LRXFE. It was sold by my insurance company for salvage in Enterprise, AL in 1995. Dark metallic blue, custom tan interior and a chrome roll bar.

Norman Miller knows and has documented the history.
