Buyer’s notes
About the Sunbeam Tiger MkI
The Tiger put Ford’s 260 cu in (4.3-litre) V8 into the Sunbeam Alpine’s body. Rootes had the cars assembled by Jensen at West Bromwich and paid Carroll Shelby a royalty on each one. 7,083 Tigers were built to 1967, 633 of them the later Mk II, and production ended soon after Chrysler took over Rootes.
What moves the price
- Authenticity: a genuine Tiger is worth far more than an Alpine converted with Tiger parts.
- Certification: inspection and certification by the Tiger owners’ community.
- Originality and condition, as many Tigers have been modified.
Before you buy, check
- The body against Tiger features with an expert: the two identification tags are only screwed on and easily swapped.
- The sills, floors, rear spring hangers and front chassis legs, as on any Alpine-bodied car.
- Certification paperwork from the owners’ club, and the history behind it.
