289-Powered 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1

This striking vehicle is a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1, renowned for its distinctive British muscularity. Unlike its contemporary MGB GT, the Tiger boasts an American V8 engine under its bonnet, specifically the Ford Fairlane's 289 cubic inch (4.7 liters) powerplant, delivering a robust 164 horsepower and enabling it to hit 0-60 mph in less than eight seconds. Its sleek design is reminiscent of an Italian sports car combined with British craftsmanship, featuring iconic dual headlights, quad taillights, and distinctive front air vents. Manufactured in 1966, this Tiger stands out as one of the few British sports cars to employ American muscle for increased performance, thereby bridging the Atlantic in automotive engineering.
