Guess about 1964 or 65, I went back to visit at Sports Car Forum, where I worked as a tech, here in Colummbus, Ohio. Beside the building I saw a Yellow or Mustard Yellow Sunbeam, heavily damaged and stripped. While I was inside, I was told it was a Tiger, and my memory says I was told it came from up in the NW states, and had a connection to a famous race driver. I don't know if I made this up in my mind, but am fairly sure it was a English driver. For years I have associated it with Ken Miles. The car had disc rear brakes, am sure of that, and the car was bought to strip and make a race Tiger for Don Sessler, whose pics are at the Cumberland site, in the Forum's Sunbeam Alpine.


Above is partly correct. Sports Car Forum bought the ex Ken Miles Tiger complete and running. Don Sessler took it to Nassau Speed weeks and collected a Lotus that spun in front of him. The Tiger was supposedly bulit by Hollywood Sports Cars.
