Wow, I LOVE this! Any info on who the driver was Charles? The lettering on the rocker panel says Tiger II, which suggests its the later 289 version.

Note also its left hand drive. Many Tigers were rhd, so this is an import, probably from the US.

The engine was a tight fit and Sunbeam had to provide inspection holes in the footwells to allow access to the rearmost spark plugs. Only 7,083 cars were built and today they are much sought after. (And am I the only who thinks that "Sunbeam" sounds as though it should be a modern Chinese brand?)Name:  img05042019_053_01_01 (Small).JPG
