comment from the forum: I don't know which one is right, as the wheel arches of both models seem rounder than those from this picture... |

That is not an Alpine or Tiger. It’s too big and the boot is far too long. |

That is decidedly a Thunderbird. |

And a '55, with no indication of a fender side vent. |

I have to admit rear wheel arch appears to be boxier and arch seems up higher. Was going to post a comparison pic but don't see how or any other pics for that matter (EDIT: did read FAQ but never learned BBC). Too many here recognize as T-Bird so probably is correct. -- Last edit: 2022-07-22 21:29:20 |

@orbsphere - as probably the site's biggest fan of Rootes-jewels, I fully applaud your efforts to increase our count of Alpines/Tigers, but sadly this is not one. Proportions don't fit, there's no fuel cap on the rear wing, windscreen curves too much, etc. But don't give up the quest ..... |
