Re: Wheel sizes

I have 6" wide rims 13" Diameter on my Car with 185/70 Tyres with no issues, the off-set is the important thing but I would guess 8" wide would be marginal. The Tyre Selector for 8" Wide rims suggest 225 or 235 is ideal with 215 the minimum which will safely fit, you don't say what diameter the Rims...

Winter Maintenance plans

Just wondered how's everyone doing in the Sunbeam Tiger World?

My car is tucked up in a nice warm garage under it's cover, plans over the winter holiday period are adjustment/re-greasing of the front wheel bearings and an Oil/Filter change.

Anyone got anything planned for their cars?

Re: hard Top rear window

Hi Gary, No I didn't. I got a price from Sunbeam spares at £250 ish plus packaging which seems expensive. I ended up fitting a flat acrylic one, although not perfect on the corners, does the job as I don't often use the car in the winter and not purposely when wet! Regards Rich Yes, I had a similar...

Re: Stalling Problem

Lots of views but no responses yet :|

Can anyone recommend someone who can have a look and tune up the car for me then?

I was thinking of getting Chris Draycott to have a look.

Front Floor Mats

Hi

Can anyone confirm a supplier for custom made front floor mats to suit a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger please?

I need them in black carpet or rubber mat finish, would be nice if they had a Tiger logo on, but any that fit would be nice.

Regards

Stalling Problem

Hi All Can anyone offer advice on a couple of annoying problems with my Tiger. It is standard apart from being fitted with Electronic Ignition and a 2 Barrell Holley Carburettor. I'm experiencing occasional stalling when I pull up to junctions, the tick-over slumps and the car stalls, it immediately...

Re: East Midlands Meeting - September 2021

Another good turn out of Classics at the Coopers last night, only the 3 Sunbeams though 2 Alpines and my Tiger.

Clocked over 50,000 Miles on the way home which is believed to be genuine as I have all the M.O.T.s back to the early 1980's :shock:

Re: Brake/Clutch Master reserve...

The Previous owner of my Tiger Martin had the Brake Master reconditioned by them around 6 or 7 years ago, the brakes are still working fine with no problems with the Master Cylinder?
