Not a Tiger but possibly the first Sunbeam I remember seeing.

Nice car.

I'm sure you'll get many hours of pleasure out of it..................most of them spent putting the top up or down.

Hi Paul,

A very nice car. I have the same car only without the LAT wheels, which I think look great, and the luggage rack. It was also difficult for me to find a car that had not been modified. They seem to be a favorite car for auto crossing with the necessary modifications.

If you are in need of parts, I have found Sunbeam Specialities, http://www.rootes.com/ to be a great source.

Congratulations again!

Rick

A Tiger is on my list as well .... Cool. Minilites seem to be perfect for them IMO. About 15 years ago I saw an orig owner car in a restoration shop gettin' the works. They were modified in in England I was told. The shop owner and I enjoyed inspecting the "Clearanceing work" for V8 install - just beat to death with a BFH. Couldn't see it with the eng installed.
