Sunbeam Tiger

By the time of appearance of the model the sunbeam V-shaped eight-cylinder engine is already installed on many sports cars, and the company the sunbeam just tried to do what many have already made to 1964. The company has its own model of Alpine, in which is usually mounted four-cylinder engine capacity of 1.4 liters, and found in it a V-shaped eight-cylinder Ford. Ford sold the British company the sunbeam V-shaped eight-cylinder engine, to appear in the model Mustang, of the 4.6 liter, and he is very well come up. Above the Alpine not require a lot of work to accommodate the new larger size, the most visible change was the switch mechanism reechnoy transfer, as prevented standard recirculation system. The engine also has not left the place of the battery, so it needed to move into the trunk. Chassis has been very strong, with X-shaped frame, welded to the body, with a link front suspension and the driven rear axle on the leaf springs. All the springs and shock absorbers have been improved, but the winding streets of this model is demonstrated their limitations.
