Vehicle Description
Absolutely gorgeous and well-restored, this is genuine 1966 Sunbeam
Tiger has been authenticated by the Sunbeam Tiger Owners
Association and retains the original VIN tag rivets. Every part was
removed and the body was mounted on a rotisserie. The interior and
trunk are finished with matching black pebble grain vinyl and black
high-quality sewn carpeting. All gauges are Tiger original
reconditioned Jaeger units, and the wiring has been completely
replaced with an original replacement wiring harness. The original
wooden steering wheel has been reconditioned and nicely finishes
the interior. The engine is upgraded to a late '60s
performance-built Ford 302ci V8. The cooling system was upgraded to
a 4-core radiator and retains the original fan shroud. The original
Ford Toploader wide-ratio 4-speed manual transmission has also been
rebuilt. Transmission shifting is performed with a special Hurst
Competition Plus shifter that has the appearance of an original
short handle, yet has the nice tight feel and close pattern one
expects in a competition classic. The driveline was
glass-media-blasted, painted with black enamel and enhanced with
heavy-duty U-joints. The rear differential was disassembled,
inspected and rebuilt with new bearings, seals and "proper" paint.
All the brake and clutch hydraulics have been replaced or
reconditioned to new. Front brake caliper dishes are all new, with
replacement stainless units. Brake lines and hoses are all new as
well. This Tiger comes with its TAC certificate and sticker.
