Developed with the involvement of Carroll Shelby, the Tiger transformed the elegant Sunbeam Alpine into a compact, V8-powered sports car with genuine performance credentials. Finished in White with a contrasting Black interior and Black hardtop, this example presents attractively with its distinctive bonnet air intake, chrome detailing, period-style alloy wheels and additional front driving lamps. Its clean bodylines and understated appearance conceal the performance character beneath the bonnet. Originally equipped with a 260 cubic-inch Ford V8, this Tiger has been upgraded to a larger 302 cubic-inch (5.0-litre) V8, a popular conversion among enthusiasts seeking additional performance. Power is delivered through a five-speed manual gearbox, providing an engaging driving experience with strong acceleration and a distinctive V8 soundtrack. Inside, the cabin features Black upholstery, a wood-trimmed dashboard, classic instrumentation and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The combination of traditional British sports car styling and American V8 muscle makes the Tiger an entertaining driver's car, equally suited to weekend outings and spirited open-road motoring. Described as running well, this Sunbeam Tiger offers an appealing opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a distinctive classic with additional performance character. British elegance, American V8 muscle and a five-speed manual gearbox, a true driver's classic with a personality all of its own.
