Carolina Muscle Cars, INC. is proud to present this highly original
1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I. Developed with engineering input from
Carroll Shelby, the Sunbeam Tiger has become one of the most
sought-after performance cars of the 1960s.
Powered by a Rebuilt 289 V8 engine paired to a 4-speed manual
transmission, this Tiger offers the lightweight, raw performance
that made these cars famous worldwide. With its compact dimensions,
aggressive V8 sound, and excellent power-to-weight ratio, the Tiger
delivers an incredibly enjoyable and spirited driving experience.
Mechanically, this Tiger starts with ease, runs strong, and
performs exactly as a proper Tiger should. In addition the previous
owner had the 289 rebuilt, while that was getting rebuilt he went
ahead and rebuilt the transmission and the rear end to ensure this
vehicle is ready to be enjoyed.
The exterior of this Tiger presents well in the correct embassy
black paint. The paint on this vehicle is driver quality with some
signs of wear, but has excellent shine. Accenting the exterior are
chrome bumpers, LAT 70-style alloy wheels, and dual exhaust that
give the car an aggressive yet elegant appearance. This example
also features both a removable black hardtop and a black soft top,
making it equally enjoyable for top-down cruising or enclosed
touring. The overall appearance is classic, sporty, and
unmistakably iconic.
Open the door and you are greeted by a beautiful black interior
that perfectly complements the sleek exterior finish. The cabin
retains the vintage British sports car charm that enthusiasts love
while featuring tasteful upgrades and excellent presentation
throughout. Jaeger instrumentation, a Hurst shifter, and classic
bucket seats create an authentic period-correct driving environment
that immediately transports you back to the golden era of sports
cars.
Under the hood sits the Ford 289 V8 engine housed within a highly
detailed engine bay. Additional features include an aluminum
radiator for improved cooling and reliability. The engine
compartment is clean and well presented, while underneath you will
find a very solid and clean underside that reflects the care this
Tiger has received throughout its life.
The Sunbeam Tiger has long been considered one of the most
collectible British sports cars ever produced, with only
approximately 7,000 examples built between 1964 and 1967. Whether
you are a seasoned collector, vintage racing enthusiast, or someone
looking for an investment-grade classic that is equally exciting to
drive, this 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I is an outstanding
opportunity.
