Thanks for your links post Dave....AHP 483B survives and has been very carefully restored to Targa spec by owner David McDermott, who is also a Club member.
The period competition history of this semi-works Sunbeam Tiger can be found in Graham Rood's excellent book - "The Works Tigers 1964-1966".

To refresh memories here are a few pics http://www.sunbeamtiger.co.uk/Galleries ... index.html

I watched a few of the vids, parts 1 and 5 have good images of the tiger. It was interesting to see part 1 with the tiger arriving on the trailer no numbers and modifed ready to go. Watching them hand paint the numbers on the cars (and a couple of shots of them doing it to the tiger) explains the unusual font.

In part 5 there is a nice couple of seconds of footage of the tiger really being thrown around through some bends.. brave driving indeed. thanks for the historic pics graham
