45-Years-Owned 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1A

The vehicle is a distinctive, 45-years-owned 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1A. This classic British-American sports car, manufactured in the year that saw the Summer Olympics in Tokyo and the launch of Lunar Orbiter 1 by NASA, sports an iconic combination of British design and American power under its hood. Originally produced between 1964 and 1967 as a collaboration between Rootes Group and CAR Systems Inc., this specific Tiger was built for the American market, featuring a 260 cubic inch (4.3-liter) Ford V8 engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The Sunbeam's sleek lines and elegant curves harken back to its original intention as a more powerful variant of the Rover SD1, aiming to challenge the likes of the Jaguar E-type at a lower price point. With its distinctive British Racing Green paint job that complements its Los Angeles, California residence perfectly, this rare Mk 1A is a unique blend of speed and style that embodies the spirit of its era.
