Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 26th year in the classic and muscle car business. The Sunbeam Tiger was a high-performance version of the British Rootes Group's Sunbeam Alpine roadster, a sweet 4-cylinder sports car whose competition included MGs and Alfas. U.S. West Coast sales manager Ian Garrad settled on Ford's 260 V8 as a good fit that would lift the Tiger into performance car territory. Sunbeam asked THE Carroll Shelby to produce a functional prototype and the rest, as they say, is history. Glorious but short lived, the Tiger's production ceased in 1967 when Rootes was purchased by Chrysler, who obviously wasn't going to sell a car with a Ford engine. This authentic, highly original British Racing Green (86) 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mark 1A is an outstanding example of these historically important and rare machines. Lift the functional scooped hood and you'll find the original, correct (C4OE-6015B) Ford 260 V8 that's been treated to LAT (Los Angeles Tiger) 1 specs with an Edelbrock F4B aluminum intake manifold and a Holley 4bbl carburetor. In 2019, the engine was rebuilt, bored, and balanced as well as fitted with larger valves and Pertronix electronic ignition. Additional features include rack and pinion steering, power front disc brakes, original 4-speed manual transmission (HEHE013853), correct bucket seats with half-console, correct and beautiful walnut dash, full instrumentation, a beautiful Moto-Lita wood steering wheel, and BSW tires (185/65R14) wrapped around VTO alloy wheels. This rust-free gem has had the trunk floor replaced due to battery acid rot and all other panels are good. A new wiring harness, new Robbins top, new carpet, door panels, and upholstery as well as rechromed brightwork make this jewel sparkle. Documentation includes a Certificate of Authenticity from the Coventry Transport Museum. One more top-shelf rarity from the team that can make your dream a reality. Shoe phone and agent 99 not included. Street Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full service dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery, insurance, and financing options.
