Time capsule: ’65 Sunbeam Tiger
Tigers are interesting. The soaring values of the Cobra haven’t helped the valuation of the Tiger and it still remains in the shadows.

People who love their cars tend to attribute a name to them. We wonder how many Sunbeam Tigers (real registered cars) are named Tony? Just thinking. We found a Tiger a few weeks ago and the interest was off the charts. There are legions of loyal followers of this car that has always been in the shadow of its fellow half-breed, the AC Cobra.
