The Sunbeam Tiger was inspired by the AC Cobra that was effectively the British AC Ace sports car powered by the large American Ford 4. 3 litre V8 engine. The Sunbeam Tiger was launched in 1964 and is based on the Rootes Group Sunbeam Alpine sportscar. Remaining in production until the company’s sale in 1967. Proving very popular the Tiger quickly established itself on the racing scene and has continued to be popular amongst historic racers both on track and rallying.
The Sunbeam Tiger MKI ‘Competition Specification’ offered here at Autostorico was first registered in 1965 and is finished in Forest Green with Black interior trim. Having been converted to competition specification in the mid 1990s and issued with FIA GTS12 papers in 2009. Works included stripping the bodywork back to bare metal before re-painting. The car then underwent a comprehensive documented mechanical overhaul including the engine and transmission. In more recent years, the Tiger has been maintained by specialist Don Law Racing and Pearson Engineering and has been regularly campaigned.
