1965 Sunbeam Tiger
1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I – Modified Driver
This 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I is a striking example of Anglo-American muscle, finished in classic red over a black interior, combining vintage charm with thoughtfully selected modern upgrades for enhanced performance and reliability.
Originally outfitted with a Ford 260 V8, this Tiger now boasts a Ford 302 cubic inch crate engine, delivering stronger performance while retaining the spirit of the original V8-powered roadster. Power is routed through a 5-speed Hurst transmission, a significant upgrade that enhances both acceleration and highway cruising. A Holley 4-barrel carburetor adds crisp throttle response, while the Koni shock absorbers and rebuilt front suspension improve ride quality and handling characteristics—making it a confident driver on twisty roads or long-distance cruises. Wilwood front disc brakes provide modern stopping power, greatly improving safety and control.
This Tiger rides on classic Panasport alloy wheels, giving it a purposeful, period-correct stance, while the LED headlight conversion offers modern lighting performance without compromising the vintage aesthetic. Inside, the cabin is refreshed with a new dash fitted with Smiths gauges, maintaining a classic British sports car look with improved functionality. The black interior remains simple and purposeful, aligning with the car's performance-focused upgrades.
Overall, this is a driver-quality Tiger with tasteful modifications that enhance its usability and driving enjoyment without erasing its original character. It’s a fantastic example for someone who values driving experience over concours perfection.
