The Sunbeam Tiger was inspired by the AC Cobra that was effectively the British AC Ace sports car powered by the large American Ford 4.3 litre V8 engine. The Sunbeam Tiger was launched in 1964 and is based on the Rootes Group Sunbeam Alpine sportscar. Remaining in production until the company’s sale in 1967. Proving very popular the Tiger quickly established itself on the racing scene and has continued to be popular amongst historic racers both on track and rallying.
