B94728HR01FE

Does anyone know much about this car which I think has come from a dealer.
Has anyone seen the quality of the restoration?

I'm looking to purchase a Tiger during 2011, hopefully when I move in the summer or earlier if I find a nice one.
Saw this one on Barons site wondered if it was worth registering a bid.

Cheers

Al

Hi Al, this Tiger has been for sale for a very long time.

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C102930/

The chassis No makes no sense as the figures seem to be mixed up and are minus a figure. It should be B947XXXX HROFE.

Hope this helps a little.

Just to add, it's registered with the DVLA as being blue.

Thanks Martin.

I remeber seeing it advertised minus a front bumper mid restoration.

They must want to shift some stock.

I'll query the chassis number, and ask if there is a engine number.

Thanks

There are some old comments here: http://sunbeamtiger.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=478

Might explain why it has been put into an auction.

The plot thickens if I get a chance I'll try to get to the auction, and take photo's.

Does anyone know what make of air filter this has?

I'd like a different kind for mine but I don't fancy spending £500 on an original one.

Thanks.

Found this a short while ago, and doesn't look at of place from the original.

There are a few variations on eBay.

Summit Racing in the US have a very good selection, and this one is very close to the one in that video me thinks;
