1965 Sunbeam Tiger MK1A For Sale
1965 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.
