This Tiger starts and drives beautifully.
NLL218E stood on the Sunbeam Tiger Club stand at the NEC Classic Car Show in 2023.
It has featured in some five magazine articles during its life.
Maintained latterly by Tiger expert, Chris Draycott, it received a carburettor service and rebuild in 2026.
The car has an interesting early history, the hypothesis is that the first owner obtained one of the five Tigers with 289cu in engines, by virtue of having strong ties to Rootes Group. Living in Germany at the time, he took delivery on 13th July 1967. The vehicle returned to the UK shortly thereafter.
