Description:

This fantastic Sunbeam Tiger has been owned and systematically upgraded by the current owner over the past twelve years. The goal was to produce an extremely high performance, totally reliable car that did not stray too far from a stock appearance. The starting point was a completely rust free California car which has morphed into one of the fastest and best performing Tigers you will ever find.
The entire drive train has been rebuilt or replaced. With about 8, 000 miles since completion, it is a thoroughly sorted machine, ready to enjoy immediately. The paint is 'high quality driver' standard. Done about 10 years ago, it has some minor flaws but is still extremely presentable. The interior and dash is extremely nice, with some minor, barely noticeable wear on the driver seat. All of the wiring has been replaced and the gauges professionally rebuilt. The mileage showing (approx 39, 000) is correct.
