Both these cars are on the block today ( Saturday )

87500 seems cheap for that black car at auction. So many nice details, good history and the right mods... And this car is 20k less than the bodged blue car from RM!! ... Shows how erratic tiger prices are. Really hard to believe some of the auction results we see are real .. Especially given the over the odds high price cars often show at dealers a few weeks later.

The black car has "Tan Mercedes-Benz upholstery" Don't understand what that means. Was upholstery taken off of a Mercedes Benz and reapplied to Tiger seats and door panels?
