FOR SALE: MKII B382100614 LRXFE. I have owned and run a lot of Tigers over the last 40 years and this one is a bit special. All Sunbeam Tigers are rare and the Mk2 is the rarest with only 534 built. This car started life in Canada where it stayed until 1985 when it went to the US. It was there until 2012. Before it was sold the vendor had the car TAC'd by the Sunbeam Tiger Owners Association. They inspected the car and issued a Certificate of Authenticity which I have in the history file. The car was sold and exported to the UK where the new owner embarked on a full restoration and conversion to right hand drive. The car was stripped down and the bare shell sent for media blasting. On its return the shell went to a specialist body shop for restoration and many £000's spent. The 289 engine was sent to Warrior engines for a performance rebuild which included Dart heads, steel crank, steel H beam rods and much more. When finished the dyno sheet (on file) shows over 400 BHP. The owner purchased a new Tremec 5 speed gearbox and all the ancillaries needed to complete the running gear. At this point the owner turned his interest to other projects and the Tiger was never completed. I purchased the car from him in 2017 and continued the restoration. I had a Tiger specialist inspect the work done so far before having the car media blasted again to prepare for a quality repaint in Commodore Blue (an original Mk2 colour). The car is fitted with a LAT vented bonnet. The car was then put back together with everything rebuilt, restored or replaced with new. This included new interior, hood, quality carpets, dashboard & dash top, all suspension, brakes, fuel/brake lines, bearings, all rubber, windscreen, hoses, steering rack, shocks, stainless big bore exhaust & headers, fuel pump, wiring loom and much, much more. The engine and 5 speed Tremec gearbox were mated with and ally bellhousing, new clutch, servo, Hi Torq starter, MSD dizzy and again much more. There is an ally rad and an auxiliary electric fan. Very expensive 4 pot fron calipers with new discs. The car sits on 15 x 6.5 LAT 70 option wheels with new Toyo tyres. New boot false floor and fittings. New tonneau. The list goes on and on. I hate to think how much has been spent in total and I am too scared to count it up. The car has just been finished and is not yet run in. £94,995.

SOLD: MK1. B9473272 HROFE. I have owned Sunbeam Tigers for 40 years and last year a friend offered me his half restored Tiger that he could not finish due to health reasons. The car has been known to the Tiger club for over 40 years and was owned for 20 years by Nick Channing before another 20 years with Alex Moody-Stuart. I purchased the car and spent the next 6 months and a lot of money finishing the project. The previous owner had an Aston Martin restoration company strip the car back to bare metal and replace any metal that needed replacing before spraying the car in Forrest Green. The engine was stripped, inspected and honed then rebuilt with new rings, pushrods, lifters, water pump, starter motor, shells etc. and the gearbox/axle all inspected for wear and operation. That's when I purchased the car and finished off the rebuild with a new interior, dash board, dash top, new hood, hood tonneau, carpets, new bumpers, door handles, exhaust, boot board, chrome boot hinges, alternator conversion, new wiring loom, shock absorbers, hoses, sump, new clutch, Edelbrock carb., Moroso chrome air filter and new alloy hi capacity radiator with a large extra electric fan. Much more in the file. The car sits on the correct Tiger spec. 15 inch Panasport alloy wheels with new 195/55/15 tyres up front and 205/60/15 on the rear. There is a history file with old receipts, old MOT's back to 1978 and the many recent invoices. The mileage is showing 91,100 and seems to be backed up by the old MOT's but cant be warranted. The history file shows that the car has been running the 289 since at least 1978 and possibly before. The car is now fully restored with zero miles driven. The new owner will have to run it in and fine tune it over the first 500 miles. A stunning car. Tigers have risen in value for the 40 years I have owned them and there is no sign of them slowing down any time soon! This one is a stunner so be quick! PRIVATE SALE. Can be viewed in Storrington, West Sussex. REDUCED IN PRICE FROM £65K TO £55K FOR A QUICK SALE.
