1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I 260 V8 41091 Miles
This 1966 Sunbeam Tiger MkI is a true enthusiast's car. After all, you had Carroll Shelby's winning formula with a V8 in a lightweight British sports car. But where the Cobra would introduce the idea of a car we could drive to the racetrack, the Tiger was the car that was fun to drive everywhere. So to find a first-gen example with such a stock style really lets your senses visit a bygone era where it feels like there were more hours on the weekend and the backroads just belonged to you. Dual exhaust tips, minilite-style wheels, and a hood scoop are the subtle yet distinct ways this drop-top announces it's a speedy machine. And the clean lines of the MkI Tiger show exactly why it was the right car for the Ford V8 transplant. The outstretched headlights, deeply sloping hood, full-length trim, and tall rear fenders with a hint of tailfin remind us of the first Thunderbird. But this is no mini T-Bird. Sunbeam crafted a true European with svelte lines, tasteful brightwork, and a compact style that lets you know it's a nimble machine. The Arctic White paint is the car's correct color. It has a clean look and an overall driver quality style, and that may just be the ideal way to present this car. Its price is on the value end of the scale. So you may just be looking for a great way to get the car of your dreams, or maybe you're looking for the right base for your restoration. Either way, this one gives you a drop-top classic that lets you hit the road for some carefree fun on day one. The interior of the Alpine was also the heart of why its Tiger brother became so well regarded. Sunbeam gave these cars reclining bucket seats, roll-up windows, full carpeting, and a substantial dash with plenty of wood.
