Smile Authenticity

I wrote to Norm Miller who is the bearer of the Sunbeam Tiger Registry and provided him details on my dad's car...this is what he wrote back.

"I'm always amazed when cars like yours turn up. This is the first I've heard of its existence and I appreciate you taking the time to bring it to my attention."


The car had been in the garage for so long...he never knew of it's existance. This particular car was built in between a series of 10 right hand drive Tigers that stayed in England...gives some credence to the dealer saying it was used in the New York auto show. They probably pulled my dad's car out of the line, made it a left hand driver and sent it on it's way to the show. Very few (less than 130 Tigers) were made with this color combination...again gives some credence to the auto show story...nothing like a black on tan sports car with an American V-8!
