Found some links to the old Castrol film of the 1965 Targa Florio on You Tube. The Tiger makes a couple of brief appearances. Plenty of action and Raymond Baxter's commentary

Excellent links.
Many thanks.

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
