Shelby SUNBEAM TIGER BARN FIND 4 YEAR MAKEOVER
55,586 mile car
This “Numbers Matching” 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mark I came out of an approximate 32 year hibernation & rebirth, and now has a second chance at life!
It has been a 4 year long project of mine. Before I purchased it, it had sat for approximately 26 years in enclosed storage in New Mexico. I have put much more time and effort into this car than most people can imagine. The only reason I dare sell it is that it is time for me to buy a house.
This vehicle is listed in the Sunbeam Tiger Registry located at rootes1.com as a 1965 Tiger Mark 1 under its ID #.
This is a REAL, Legitimate Sunbeam Tiger, not an alpine hybrid or 'alger' 'tipine' or other creation.
