The 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I is a blend of British design and American engineering, epitomizing the collaborative spirit of the 1960s automotive industry. Developed by the Rootes Group with input from Carroll Shelby, the Tiger was essentially a Sunbeam Alpine fitted with a Ford V8 engine, resulting in a compact roadster with impressive performance… Read More Blue feline: 1966 Sunbeam Tiger MKI
One of the most frequent problems when restoring a 60-year-old car is finding spare parts, it is true, you can find aftermarket components for sale but they rarely have the quality necessary for a top-level restoration. Not only that: sometimes the classic car parts produced now are of absolutely poor quality, and, the best part,… Read More Three for one: 1965 Subeam Tiger + 2 Sunbeam Alpine
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
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.

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
The intent of many car builders during the 60s and 70s was to build beautiful, powerful but not overly expensive cars, and there was only one way to achieve this. In fact, the solution consisted of coupling a European body, generally more suited to a sports car, to an American engine that, although not technically… Read More Protein cure: 1964 Sunbeam Tiger
This Sunbeam Tiger is, for the uninitiated, a little british roadster pushed by an american V8: basically what you see is not what you hear. The seller says that this is a true survivor as it has been stored since the ’70s but only recently it has been brough back to life: now it has… Read More Back to life: 1964 Sunbeam Tiger
The Sunbeam Tiger is one of those cars that merge the best of both sides of the pond: a typical british roadster style with american muscle. The basis of this car was of course the Sunbeam Alpine in which it was transplanted, thanks to the collaboration of Carroll Shelby, a 4261 c.c. (260 c.i.) Ford… Read More Blue cat: 1966 Sunbeam Tiger
