Description for Other Makes 1965

1965 Sunbeam Tiger for sale, icely restored driver car. The small British sports car called the AC Ace was equipped with an American Ford V8 power known as the Shelby Cobra, any people took notice. The Rootes Group, nother British car manufacturer was inspired by the Cobra, o they took their Series III Alpine roadster powered by a 1.7L 4-cylinder engine to Carroll Shelby, o see if he could develop a car similar to the Cobra. Shelby and California racer named Ken Miles began fitting a small V8 into the little Alpine. As with the Cobra the small block Ford motor was successfully fitted into the engine bay. Shelby sent the car back to Britain for testing. The Shelby design, ith its engine set far back for good balance was chosen and the Sunbeam Tiger was set to be produced by Jensen Motors Ltd. based out of Staffordshire England. For sale here is a nicely restored drivers car. As such this vehicle is nice but not perfect. There are a few scratches as indicated in the pictures.

I've owned this vehicle for over 15 years and it has been a joy. It is now time for it to find a new home. This vehicle runs and drives nice.
