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.
Exterior and Interior
Over 7,000 cars were made, and this 1965 Sunbeam Tiger is one of those proud examples. It’s got a custom orange paint job with a custom pin stripe and rides on Panasport racing wheels shod with BF Goodrich tires. Yes, it looks every bit the spunky and cheeky British roadster that it is, until the Ford V8 fires up and then you realize that this car is quite capable too. We’re told that the top has been previously replaced as well. The black and orange two-tone interior of this 1965 Sunbeam Tiger has reportedly been overhauled and features replaced carpeting, replaced seat covers and replaced door panels. There’s an aftermarket steering wheel as well. The dashboard features wood trim as befits British roadsters from the Sixties that wanted to have some luxury connotations too. A fire extinguisher sits in the center of the car as well, and it’s a great addition for any classic car, if just for that extra peace of mind. Pop the trunk and you’ve got a decent amount of space as well as a full-size spare tire.
Engine
This 1965 Sunbeam Tiger comes with a 260ci Ford V8 that’s been enhanced via an aftermarket chrome air intake system, headers and a custom exhaust system. The car has got a crisp T-10 4-speed manual transmission and is, of course, rear-wheel drive. We’re also informed that the suspension system is aftermarket.

Produced by the British automaker Rootes Group, the Sunbeam Alpine is a quintessential British two-seater sports car that first began production in 1953. During its six-year production run, the Alpine saw five different series, the latest being an example of what is featured here today. During this five-series run, the Alpine played a major role in British motorsport history, most notably at Le Mans, where it won the Thermal Index of Efficiency in 1961. This Sunbeam Alpine roadster has reportedly seen just 100 miles on the road since it received a rebuild. According to the current seller, this series-V Sunbeam has an array of upgrades and is currently up for sale in Maryland for anyone looking to pick up a piece of iconic British automotive craftsmanship.
The 1979 MG Midget represents the closing chapter of MG’s long-running tradition of lightweight British sports cars, carrying forward the simple formula that made the marque beloved by driving enthusiasts: compact dimensions, an open cockpit, rear-wheel drive, and an engaging manual transmission. Originally introduced as an affordable sports car focused on driver enjoyment, the Midget became known for its approachable character and ability to deliver an authentic roadster experience without unnecessary complexity. Showing approximately 47,372 miles, this example embodies the charm of a classic British convertible, offering the opportunity to enjoy a vintage sports car experience defined by mechanical simplicity, light handling, and timeless roadster appeal.
The 1991 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the final refinement of the iconic C4 generation, combining classic Corvette styling with improved performance, technology, and everyday drivability. Showing approximately 21,136 miles, this example is finished in Torch Red over a Saddle Interior and features the enthusiast-favorite combination of the 5.7L L98 V8, 6-speed manual transmission, and removable roof panel. Additional highlights include dual power sport seats, 5-spoke aluminum wheels, Bose premium audio, digital instrumentation, and an aftermarket exhaust system, making this Corvette an appealing example of an era-defining American sports car with low mileage and driver-focused character.
The 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe represents one of the most celebrated eras in Corvette history, combining dramatic styling, advanced engineering, and genuine competition-inspired performance. As the second year of the iconic C2 generation, the 1965 model introduced significant mechanical advancements while retaining the split personality that made the Sting Ray legendary: a refined grand touring coupe with the capability of a serious sports car. This example shows approximately 42,644 miles and is powered by the highly desirable 327ci L84 V8, featuring Rochester Ramjet mechanical fuel injection, one of the most advanced performance systems available from Chevrolet during the era. Finished in Nassau Blue with a Black interior, this Corvette is equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission, side-mount exhaust system, knock-off-style aluminum wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, and a wood-rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel. According to the current owner, the vehicle was museum-housed until 2014, adding to its appeal as a well-documented example of Chevrolet’s legendary mid-year Corvette.
