A 1967 Sunbeam Tiger Mark II, one of only 536 produced before Chrysler ended the programme, powered by a 289 cu. in. Ford V-8 delivering 210 bhp. Originally sold through a Los Angeles dealership but collected in London by its first owner, a WWII veteran, the car was specified with a factory hardtop, kilometre-reading speedometer, and European safety belts — both rare features.
