Inspired by the AC Cobra that was effectively the British AC Ace
sports car powered by the large American Ford 4. 2 litre V 8 the
Sunbeam Tiger first saw the light of day in 1964.

Based upon
the Rootes Group. Sunbeam Alpine. the Tiger - with the Ford power
plant slotted into the engine bay - became what is surely one of
motoring's true 'wolf in sheep's clothing'.

Precise handling
was retained by keeping the Alpine's rack and pinion steering with
stunning performance due not only to the muscle V 8 but also due to
the lightweight Alpine shell.

Manufactured in 1965 this Sunbeam Tiger has been restored to a
good standard. The V 8 engine runs very well with good oil pressure
and the automatic gearbox operated smoothly and efficiently on our
test drive. Sitting proudly on Wolfrace wheels and fitted with side
exhaust pipes. this Tiger certainly catches the eye. Like any
Tiger. the V 8 sound track is amazing and the torque on this car
certainly makes it an interesting drive. Originally registered
overseas and repatriated in 2014. this lefthand drive Sunbeam is
registered on UK plates and is supplied with a V 5 registration
document. Why not enjoy the rest of the summer in one of Sunbeam's
finest.
