Rootes Motors produced just over 7000 Tigers in nearly five years, and when sold to Chrysler, the model was quickly axed as much for poor sales as the fact it sourced its motor from Ford and had no suitable replacement. Chrysler's own small-block V8 had the distributor at the wrong end.....so it would not fit. But today these now rare cars are treasured with some intensity. In 1965 one Tiger advertisement bragged 'Art Arfons...world's fastest sports car for $3,499.' An interesting and ambitious claim, of course. Sunbeam's Alpine MkIV sold over 12,000 units at $2,399 in the USA in 1964 through 1966.
