The seller hasn’t written much about this Tiger, but what he has written is actually what really matters. Indeed the car is said to still have its original 260 V8 engine and 4 speed gearbox and that it has 67K documented miles: it is extremely rare for a car over 50 to have such a… Read More Roootes: 1966 Sunbeam Tiger MK1A
In spite of the image it has, this can be considered to all intents and purposes a muscle car. Indeed, if a Ford Mustang of the same period is considered a muscle car icon, let alone how the Tiger can be considered, it has the same eight-cylinder engine (but in this case 260 cubic inches),… Read More Green feline: 1965 Subeam Tiger
This is the third part of the collection that Gabriel, one of our readers, has decided to sell. As already said, we will just expose the photos he sent and the description of the vehicles he made to us: we continue to emphasize that we have no direct affiliation with the seller (in this regard,… Read More The southern sale, part 3

It is the first time ever that we see this car, probably for two reasons: it is rare and, perhaps, it is not among the most beautiful cars in the history of motoring. There are so few around if you are looking for this model, many of the photos that appear are the same as… Read More Mini Barracuda: 1969 Sunbeam Alpine Fastback
There are basically three ways to approach a classic car: buy one in perfect condition, buy a driver to whom you will plan all the necessary chores, or buy a wreck and arrange it according to your wishes. Certainly the last option often proves to be the most expensive even if, initially, it can give… Read More Two for one: 1967 Sunbeam Tiger
This post, as well as all the others to follow, are dedicated to my nephew Quinn, born yesterday. And, to celebrate the event, today there will be three posts instead of one. “Live long and prosper”, as Leonard Nimoy used to say. “To Catch a Thief” is the title of the film in which Cary… Read More Welcome, Quinn: 1953 Sunbeam Alpine MKI
Apparently only 145 of them were made, Touring of Milano took care of their build and, consequently, they all had aluminum bodywork. The goal of Sunbeam was to rely on one of the most famous Italian ateliers to build an elegant coupé that could compete, for example, with the Lancia Flaminia built from the same… Read More The Italian Job/3: 1964 Sunbeam Venezia by Touring
Obviously this is not the first Sunbeam Tiger that we see for sale, but of all those views is definitely the one we like best. The reasons are various: the Carnival Red paint is very beautiful and fits perfectly with the original hardtop covered with black vinyl and we like very much the tires with… Read More Going to carnival: 1965 Sunbeam Tiger MK1
The seller of this Sunbeam Tiger claims to have bought the car from a dot-com guy in San Francisco some year ago, and that the car is a real survivor. The person from whom he bought it, in fact, was responsible for rebuilding the drivetrain and all the mechanical systems in order to use the… Read More True survivor: 1965 Sunbeam Tiger
