This is the true classic motorsport enthusiast’s car! Understood to be a Arizona car, it’s brilliant Alpine white paint job shows extremely well with only minor imperfections visible upon close inspection. Both the front and rear bumpers fit nicely and compliment the body. The newer soft black convertible top looks great with no rips, tears or staining to the rear plastic rear window. The Sunbeam Tiger is a high-performance V8 version of the British Rootes Group’s Sunbeam Alpine roadster, designed in part by American car designer and racing driver Carroll Shelby and produced from 1964 until 1967. Rootes also entered the Tiger in European rallies with some success, and for two years it was the American Hot Rod Association’s national record holder over a quarter-mile drag strip . Inside, the recently upholstered black vinyl front bucket seats and rear cargo compartment and all look great with no major signs of wear visible. The upholstered door panels, carpet and dashboard are painted to match the exterior of the car and look fantastic. The wooden steering wheel adds to the period feel of Paint and body are exceptional with no visible evidence of repair or damage that we could find. This Sunbeam Tiger features a 260 Ford V8 engine (visual confirmed with the 5 bolt bell housing and a 6 inch space between motor mount bolt holes). Offenhauser intake with Holley 4 barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission, wipers inoperable, Polished aluminum valve covers, breather and air cleaner. Stainless dual exhaust, performance headers, wooden steering wheel and dash. Rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes The 14 inch Superlite alloy wheels wrapped in 195/60R14s tires create a very serious track look and even more road grip. This extremely good looking Tiger is a well equipped roadster will delight even the most discerning early sports car collector or enthusiast. While the car was undergoing it’s “rebirth” with “Mr. Cossman”, the original JAL tag turned up missing. We reached out to the renowned administer of the Official Tiger Registry Norm Miller,( who knows this particular car) first with a telephone conversation and followed up with a letter (which is included with the car) from Mr. Miller. He researched and verified the original JAL and has verified that this car is indeed a genuine Tiger. These Series I Sunbeam Tigers are becoming increasingly hard to find in such well kept condition. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! Current mileage on the odometer shows 6,362, it is sold as is and is mileage exempt. The car is being sold on a clean & clear title.
