1966 Sunbeam Tiger MK1A

Retro Rod

This car started life as a SBF 260 cu. in. 4 speed '66 Sunbeam Tiger.

In 1966. 1. 26 MkIAs were produced with the 260 cubic-inch Ford small-block V8

Carroll Shelby had a great deal of success sticking a Ford V8 into the AC Ace to create the Cobra. Rootes asked Shelby to perform the same task with their Sunbeam Alpine sports car. The Alpine's 1. 6-liter four was replaced with a Ford 260 cubic-inch (4. 2-liter) unit. The result was the Sunbeam Tiger which entered production in June of 1964. little more than a year after the prototypes built by Shelby had been released.

The Sunbeam Tiger is probably most famous for its staring roll in the TV series 'Get Smart'. created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. The main character. Maxwell Smart. drove the vehicle to Control each week where he was given his assignment. Agent 86. er Maxwell Smart. received attention where ever he went. thanks in part to the stylish vehicle that accompanied him.
