1967 Sunbeam Tiger Mk II
- Engine
- 4.7L (289 cu in) V8, 210 bhp, four-speed manual
- Colour
- Carnival Red with white accent stripes
A rare Sunbeam Tiger Mk II, one of only 536 produced before Chrysler ended the programme in 1967, this example was sold new in March 1967 by a North Carolina dealer and has passed through a documented chain of American ownership ever since. Finished in Carnival Red with white accent stripes, it is powered by the 289 cubic-inch Ford V-8 paired with a four-speed manual gearbox and underwent a frame-off restoration in 1990 by recognised marque specialist Scott Woerth. It retains its original hardtop alongside a soft top and period-style interior with Jaeger instrumentation.
