1966
Sunbeam Tiger Race Car
In
2006 the car received full bare metal rotisserie
restoration and has new custom made steel floors,
transmission tunnel and extensive reinforcements (every
reinforcement listed in the CAT shop notes
and online) to stiffen the chassis, cross
member and suspension. Car is extremely fast
and handles great. This is a real Tiger VIN
# B382000992.
In
2009 I started to convert the car to run the
LCP: windshield and top installed, cage added
and lights installed. Then I committed
to driving another car and the project stalled. In
2010, I entered it in the British Extravaganza
at Buttonwillow and received a VARA Log Book. The
car needs to be sorted (it developed an overheating
problem which I have not taken the time to resolve)
and finished to LCP specs. Once done, it
is so unique that it should be immediately accepted
in LCP and dominate the Mustangs and Falcons.
