The 4.2 litre v8 sunbeam tiger. a handsome compact anglo american sports car with the emphasis on effortless acceleration. the use of american vee eight power units in british high performance cars is an interesting development likely to increase—bristol, jensen, a.c. cobra, and a number of big sports racing cars of even more limited output. The tiger was the high performance british muscle car featuring 260 or 289 ford engines, and they’re sought after today in original, unmodified form. this tiger isn’t that, but it still looks like a highly desirable specimen worthy of putting back to drag ready condition, especially considering some of the modifications that have been made. Super low production, beautiful restoration, very fast!!! • beautifully restored using the best parts (look under this car!) • upgraded 289 high output 300hp.
