In 1959, the Sunbeam Alpine was introduced by the Rootes Group. The small 1494cc four-cylinder engine was barely enough to complement the stylish and sporty body. Seeing the success of the Shelby Cobras, Rootes Group approached racing legends Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby for help in doing a V8 conversion. The result was the Sunbeam Tiger, which entered production in June of 1964. With 164 horsepower under the hood, the new Tiger was able to go from zero-to-sixty in just 7.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 117 MPH.
Production of the Tiger was a complicated and global affair. The painted and trimmed bodies were sourced from the Pressed Steel Company Limited in Oxfordshire, England. The engines and gearboxes came directly from Ford in the United States, while assembly was handled at the Jensen Motors Limited Plant in West Bromwich, England.
This car is one of 2,706 MK1A's built from a total production run of 7,067. With the exception of a few minor modifications for reliability, it remains essentially stock.
