Sunbeam Tiger For Sale

OFF MARKET

Carroll Shelby’s work in stuffing American engines into compact British roadsters is well documented with the AC Cobra or Shelby Cobra. But did you know that the great man was also responsible for something called the Sunbeam Tiger? Sunbeam was another well-known maker of pert British roadsters. Shelby took their cutesy Alpine two-seater and stuffed, surprise surprise, a Ford V8 under its hood. Sunbeam liked the idea, and although they contracted fellow British automaker Jensen to make the car instead of Shelby, they paid him a royalty on every car sold. Today, we have one of these relatively rare birds for sale, a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger from Paw Paw, Michigan. The car has done under 95,000 miles and has got some enhancements to make it even sweeter to drive.
