The word 'hybrid,' when applied to the Sunbeam Tiger, referenced its blend of European body and chassis design with the visceral power of its American V8 engine. Like the iconic Shelby Cobra, the nimble little Sunbeam Tiger exemplified this concept.
When the Rootes Group went seeking additional power sources for its Alpine roadster, Carroll Shelby presented a solution. Having previously worked on the V8 conversion for the AC Cobra, he proposed a similar transformation for the Sunbeam Alpine. Receiving a Ford V8, the Tiger emerged as a high-performance version of the ALpine. The Mark I version was produced from 1964 to 1967 and came with a 260 CID Ford V8. The Mark II, of which 633 (as few as 536 units) were built in the final year of production, received a larger 289 CID Ford engine.
This particular Sunbeam Tiger is a Mark II with an uprated 289 small block powerplant. It was acquired in 1979 by the current owner from its original owner. Although it was just twelve years old, the new owner had the car sent to Scott Woerth for restoration, primarily cosmetic in nature. Upon completion, the car was shown at local car shows and Tiger events.
In 1981, the car was shipped to San Francisco and participated in the SAAC 6 (Shelby American Automobile Club) in Monterey, where it won '1st Place Concours Tiger.' Two 1st place awards at the New Hope Car Show followed. From the 1980s through the mid-1990s, the car was used as a weekend driver. Following an extended period of storage, the car was given a restoration beginning in 2010. The restoration was completed in 2021, and the car has seen limited usage since then.
The car's restoration was entrusted to Wayne Tubbs of Hilliard Motor Cars in Thornton, Pennsylvania. It was given a Forest Green exterior, fresh brightwork, and reupholstered interior. The motor was rebuilt by 422 Motorsports in Oaks, Pennsylvania.
The quality of the restoration was rewarded with a First in Class award at the Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance in 2023.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2024
