The Club has arranged with Automodello the leading international die-cast model car maker to produce for STOC an exclusive and limited edition Tiger model honouring TIGER50

Automodello have previously made 3 fabulous Tiger models for the US market, seen here: http://www.automodello.com/sunbeamtiger ... Z-4DaKsjTo

The UK model, which is in production, will be RHD, wear Minilite wheels and have the steering wheel on the correct side. It will be painted Mediterranean Blue, with a detachable Black hardtop and on its plinth will be silk screened:

Sunbeam Tiger Owners Club
1964-2014 TIGER50 Exclusive

First RHD Tiger: 7 January 1965

This model will be offered by the Sunbeam Tiger Owners Club exclusively to members and Diecasm the sales arm of Automodello will be making it available publicly. The model will be deliverable in a few months. It is anticipated that the Club will be able to deliver one of these exquisitely correct 'standard' models to our members at a smidgen under £100

If you would like to order one of these splendid models to remember TIGER50 by please, for now, let me know.

Will they all say 1 of a series of 165 or are they going to individually numbered?

Post by **gvickery** » Sun May 26, 2013 10:38 pm

Yes Martin 1 of 165. haven't planned on the models being individually numbered. I can but ask!!

14 'sold' since first post.

Anyone else wanting one at this time as I would like to put in an early order?

Graham

I would say that, imo, 1 of 165 is the best way to go.
Individually numbered could get troublesome.

Hi everyone,

Because I didn't know anything about these models I bought a 'normal' example recently so I could "kick the tyres" on it (small shoes, I know). It arrived earlier this week and I am really impressed with it!

Our favourite car (cue: discussion...) has been captured extremely well and proportions look great. Detailing is very fine done thanks to etching (normal for white metal or resin models), allowing the trim to be picked out well. Paintwork's very smooth and reflective, and even the tread on the tyres is represented!

I think everyone who orders one will be really impressed with the club model, and the envy of those who don't. Well done to our Committee - and particularly Graham - in working tirelessly to put all this together (oh, and answer my many anorakish questions patiently too!).

Hope this helps in case anyone's still trying to decide - I know it's a few quid, but you'll forget that when it arrives. Anyway, it's a half century!

Thanks Peter for your excellent review. It is very good to see you are impressed with the detailing of the Tiger model. Thanks too for your kind words about the Committee of the Club...

I would like to say to our members that we have 40+ advance orders to-date and when we have 48 we shall firm our provisional order with Automodello.
So if anyone is in two minds right now please 'jump up on the wagon' this coming week! The more going with us now the cheaper the shipping will be and thus the final price to you.

Graham

Just so you know, the magazine in question is Model Collector... September issue which should be available now (I think...best flick through the pages when it hits the stands to make sure)!
