1965 Sunbeam Tiger MK1A For Sale1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I the rare
Anglo-American roadster born from a collaboration between Rootes
Group and Carroll Shelby. Powered by Ford's 260 cu in V8, this
Tiger maintains its original character while benefiting from
tasteful, performance-minded updates. The engine features an
Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and carburetor, paired with an
MSD Blaster 2 ignition system for reliable spark and crisp throttle
response. A 4-speed manual transmission channels power through a
2.88 rear gear, offering the kind of analog driving feel
enthusiasts cherish.This Tiger was acquired from a museum in
Minnesota in 2011 and has since been stored in heated, covered
conditions when not in use. The top end of the engine was rebuilt
with original components a few years ago, preserving authenticity
while ensuring longevity.Performance additions include a custom
roll bar, custom traction bars, and distinctive side pipes that
give the car a commanding sound and stance. The 16-inch Weld Racing
wheels complete the look while allowing room for front disc brakes
and rear drums. Inside, an NRG Innovations woodgrain steering wheel
(with the original included) complements the soft-top convertible
cabin, which also features an upgraded Bluetooth-enabled radio for
modern convenience.A well-preserved and properly sorted example of
the first-generation Tiger, this Mk I blends period-correct charm
with subtle upgrades that enhance its drivability without
sacrificing its heritage.See the "videos" tab above this
