TIGER FOR SALE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.de%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D%2B250203749050%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1&item=250203749050#ebayphotohosting
This car is, i was told by an expert, genuine with some parts missing and some parts not original. Its also registered in the worldwide TG register. Probably a rare opportunity to grab a tiger mates. Unfortunately its for sale in Israel and far away.
Good luck tg hunters
Any questions P50? Let me know !
Regards
Ferdi

Its good to see they are still turning up but it has to be the worse example I have ever seen! How the owner has the nerve to describle it as fully restored!

I was offered this TG500 last week.
Needless to say I passed up the 'exciting offer' to own this Tiger.
Life's too short to own this, err 'example'.
I'm a collector. But not of this calibre!
I was told it can be road fit in 24hrs! Several E-Mails were exchanged. If you have the time an inclination to find all the bits you can get it right. But the ordinaries will bid this thing to the hilt.
I have no idea what the reserve is but it's probably as outrageous as the restoration...
P.S. I was most taken aback by the wiring.... Quite remarkable!! restoration by experts? Priceless? Oh behayve! A 275Nart Spyder at £4M is a big boys toy. Thes geezer needs to get real!
-
Tigers just don't come up for sale very often.This guy knows exactly what they're worth,and naturally wants to get a much as possible for it,who can blame him??? Rest assured,this car WILL sell,WILL be restored,and WILL be enjoyed by a true enthusiast who wants a car for the long term.It won't be bought by some CHAV who wants to make a fast buck and punt it on.Good luck to the eventual buyer,lets' just hope it's bought by a real enthusiastic owner who will look after it and not by the usual "fly by nights" who loose interest and disappear after a couple of years.
-
Does this mean that you are going for it then bodzamno? By the way whats a CHAV?
-
What is a Chav?
'CHAV' (slang) - a young person, often without a high level of education, who follows a particular fashion; Chavs usually wear designer labels including the chav favourite 'Burberry', and if they
-
I can't expect the end of auction, and who will be the lucky - or unlucky- buyer.Finally its an early 1959 car and well sought after.
I guess some folks in germany are thinking about to buy it. Anyway, we'll see mates
-
Chavs?
In my neck of the woods we have the pseudo chav.De rigeur is a cheap houndstooth jacket with leather elbow adornment. Usually suffer from delusions of grandeur. Commonly known as a class A deluded ponce!
Oh how I chortle!!!
-
chavs,known in my household as pondscum!
-
Keep a look out on Ebay and you'll see if I bid or not.The CHAV question has already been very well and accurately answered!
-
bodzamno, how will I know your bidding if we dont know your ebay ID? Witney44, thanks for the comprehensive definition Rob, the fact that I live in Essex and had not heard this expression gives me hope, things must by looking up! P50, I know the type, we have them in Emerson Park, they usualy have Lions on there gate posts, Chortle is a good word, originaly coined I beleive by Lewis Carol.
-
Noted!
-
If I bid,rest assured I'll advise.
Just to assist everyone with what a CHAV is,in simple terms they wear shell suits,cheap Argos jewellery,fake Burberry caps and generally fake designer wear,and that's just the female species.....the male species have all of the above and compliment it with a "skinhead" haircut.They mostly reside in Essex,I think that's compulsory from what I've heard.
Tiger bid has just gone up again.

They also have really unattractive wives!!
-
bodzamno. No you are much mistaken, Essex is now one of the most prosperous countys in the UK, our young folk can afford the real thing. Im just sorry that you have all these local "CHAVS" where you live. [ where did you say you came from? ] we dont stand for that sort of poor show in Hoooorah Hornchurch dont ya know! P50' gone quite I'm sure Loughton is still in Essex.
-
Certainly no CHAV's where I come from,as they have all been banished to Essex.Unfortunately I do have to visit Essex from time to time,now I know where all the Ford XR3's have turned up and why there is a shortage of Vauxhall Corsa's and Peugeot 205's in every other part of the country.But enough of this,lets' just watch and see what happens with the Tiger,certainly worth restoring no matter how bad things look,try finding another one for sale.....anywhere in the world!!
-
P50' gone quite
Most probably because he is out buying some 'Burberry' to re-trim his original snakeskin KR200 interior ;D
-
Last heard of in a bath, with a bar of Imperial Leather
"Tel Aviv looks nice"
?
-
Hi John, I have just fallen in, not the bath! One has to be of a certain age to remember the TV soap add of the wealthy CHAV from Essex who whilst in his private jet in his luxury bath with his ugly Essex wife sporting a bar of Imperial leather, Burberry bikini and white stiletto's looking at the holiday brochures, "Saffron Walden and all the other beautiful villages of Essex look nice". "On our way darlin!" I remember it well along side the "you'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent" and " One thousand and one cleans a big big carpet for less than half a crown!"
-
hi Bob
Just remembered "heres a carpet you can afford - from Cyril Lord - do you remember what car he was financing?
-
Was it a TG500?
-
Perhaps it should have been a UK built version of the Tg500 and he might have got more return on his investment ;D
Sadly he invested in York Nobel's dream and seen little or no return :-\
-
There's a thought, especially if a Brit version used a decent engine.
-
Sorry, I forgot that Sir Mike was reading these posts, I should have said "Decent INGINE". You see when I drove my schmitt to Story with Mike Shepard and Richard Warren , being an Essex CHAV they ribbed me constantly for my mispronunciation of the word "engine". There were references to "cowboys and Ingines" and all that sort of thing. What a hoot we had! Such a shame it will never happen again now that Story is gone..
-
and the Tiger wasn't sold. Would like to know how much guys were looking the auction the last seconds.
-
Well the highest bidder, who obviously was very keen to get it (judging by the number of bids) might just get another black 'TG500' to add to his collection. ;)
-
Possibly its a two tone car. Apparently the wings are slightly painted different ??!!
-
Maybe this chap Perry Olds bought it,he is listed as owning a TG500 on the Liege Rally which is being run this year ::)
-
Must be another Perry! Yawn!... Do grow up...
-
Try the messerschmitt owners club, there forum members might be interested.
-
I always heard that Chav is "street" for Chatham. On my many visits to the Medway Towns I can honestly report that there are NO CHAVS THERE AT ALL. Well, only a few hundred thousand.
-
If u guess the TG was to expensive, you're far away! Look at this.
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140196950500&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004
Its time for me to sell all the rubbish and going to buy a propper house!
-
I always thought that CHAV meant Council House And Violent!
There I go again with my social prejudices.

Obviously somebody who is desperate for this part to finish or complete his roadster or Tiger.Wish I had some I could sell !
-
Oh come on Nick, how can someone who buys a tuk tuk, dresses up as an Indian cabby and likes invalid carrages have social prejudices?
-
You're right, I'm a bit of a mess, aren't I? An enigma wrapped in a mystery shrouded in a conundrum.
