We proudly present this stunning Sunbeam Tiger, finished in solid white paintwork with Red Leather interior trim.
First registered 13th May 1965, this fantastic 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. Shelby had carried out a similar V8 conversion on the AC Cobra, and hoped to be offered the contract to produce the Tiger at his facility in America.
