Back

This 1966 Sunbeam Tiger was purchased from a gentleman in Oklahoma who collects Tigers. It was shipped out to CA where it was disassembled, then abandoned as a project due to the owner's health issues.

Present owner bought the car a few years ago, and finished the restoration.

There are numbers on the Transmission and Differential which match with the VIN # found in the assembly log from the Jensen factory where they were built.

The engine is a '63 Fairlane 289 block, re-sleeved to stock, and fitted with an Eagle 347 Stroker Kit, Edelbrock heads and manifold, and ceramic-coated headers, bringing the power to over 400hp!

The differential has a limited slip posi unit, which in fact is a Dana 40, but called a ''Salisbury'' across the pond.

The interior is new, with Auto Meter gauges, and a mahogany skin over the original fascia. The Grant steering wheel gives the driver enough room to get in the car comfortably, and the rear package tray is fitted with separate custom padded and pleated matching vinyl inserts. The original gauges, steering wheel, and shroud are in retained in storage, as are the heads and manifold. The four exhaust pipes are functional; two are constant, and the other two open with electric cutouts. When they're closed, it sounds like a T-Bird, but when they open (with an under-dash switch), it sounds like an Indy car! This car is scary fast and should only be driven by an experienced driver (no joke).
