I am a former resident of Grants Pass OR I was there both times you came to town. I now live in TX so I missed this one. Maybe some of your people remember me. I was cruizing around in a black 67 Dodge Charger taking lots of pictures at the 2nd gathering. I still have some of the pics! Very nice cars!!! Very nice people, after I explained I was after pics, not races. Do you ever get together in east TX or Louisiana? I'd love to take my son so your marque would have another fan. |

Hi Jack
Your Mum's MKII Tiger is one of 3 right hand drive (HROFE) Tiger 2's built right at the end of production in late June 1967 for favoured Rootes Dealers - like your grandfather. Only 10 RHD MKII's were built (6 for the Metropolitan Police); the model was not offerred to the British market. So I am glad to hear you are going to get WRO 573E ready for the road in 2008. If you want to know how the Club can directly help you drop me a line at stoc@sunbeamtigger.co.uk. Happy Christamas. STOC EDitor |

Hi Joe. Glad you enjoy the STOC website. We'd sure like to see some photos of B9470017 FE in its new paint.Being as #17 is the 2nd production Tiger sold to the public you have one rare machine. I understand the first - Chassis 16 - has never been reported to Norm Miller. So your's is the earliest surviving 'private sale' production Tiger. B9470011 - B9470015 all went to the Competition Department for the rally program.

Dear STOC editor. I feel gutted as what to say about hearing my Tiger is still alive and hopefully still roaring. That is brilliant and so quick. The wierd thing is, i was on the phone to my daughter who was born at the same time that i was exchanging my Tiger for my Mustang, when i clicked on your reply. Spooky or what. Do you think there is any chance of any contact between the member in NZ and myself. I would love to see some pictures of it and to know how it's going. Many thanks. John. |

Hello All,
Many years ago I had a 1967 MK1A Tiger and sold it to a friend of mine that still has it (Will not sell it back to me). I sold it to get in to road racing which I still do. Recently I purchased a1965 Tiger from a person in Washington State (2nd owner). I have the resources to restore the car to a good fit and finish.
I am making this post to see if some one reading this can pass on my e-mail address (fabbro@shaw.ca) to Marcus Steineger owner of a MarkII Tiger, Orange in color. I have seen it on the web site and would like to ask him about his car color.
I have my race car so I plan to restore the Tiger for my wife to use. You know the little old lady that only drove the car to the store and back and went to church on Sundays. She has seen the car color of Marcus looking at the web sites and fell in love with it. So please help.
Thanks,
Kim

I recently inherited my uncle's car collection. Among his cars is a Sunbeam Alpine, Series V (Tiger?). Unfortunately, I live 2 1/2 hours away from my uncle's home. I saw that the cars were in fair shape (dirty) a couple of weeks ago, but when I sent some guys to bring back the cars, I was told they had been severly vandalized--especially the Sunbeam, and they suggested I sell them all for scrap iron. I do not know what to do. I don't know if the car is salvageable. It was my uncle's favorite--and I'd hate to think it was destroyed. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? |

Hi
I recently bought a wreck of a project vehicle - a mark 1 sunbeam Alpine.
I would like to restore it and convert it to a "Alger" - ie as close to a Tiger as possible.
Of course there would be no question of misrepresenting the vehicle as a Tiger etc - this is for my own use and enjoyment.
My last similar project was a MGC damaged bodyshell that I bought (no other parts at all!) into which a Rover V8 engine and transmission was fitted!
Does anyone have details of the work required, tips etc, links to a url?
I have read some of the web articles and understand the basics - 260cu versus 289 versus 302, need to move the battery box and spare wheel, need to re-route the brake pipes, need to fit a strengthening bar from the turret tops etc.
For info, ther is a published BOOK that tells you how to fit a V* engine into a MGB chassis (much simpler into a MGC body - much more space).
Any assistance would be sincerely appreciated.
Regards

Hi there, there is a black tiger in South Africa currently that has been modified only to enhance performance, though has remained true to original spec. The car is currently pushing a power output of 425bhp, which is generally considered a bit over-powered. But I would like to know if there is any road going Tiger putting out this kind of power anywhere else in the world? There is only one way to describe this car. Awesome. I will forward pictures as soon as possible. Dave. |

A newspaper photo of me in the car taken at the Tigers national meeting when I was doing the 'timing circle' at the Millpool, Looe, this was when I had black hair!......Anyone remember that far back? |

Greetings from California, had a '65 MK1a for 8 years and sold it in 1995, cleaning out the garage and found 4 hubcaps with 3 beauty rings, not sure what they're worth, but rather see them get back into the hands of a Tiger owner rather than languish in a box, can email pics, make me an offer, I can ship UPS anywhere. |

Dear Sirs,
I am an Italian 43years old.
When I was a child a liked Tiger and now I'd like to own one.
Could You help me in finding a very
good LHD car (better MK2 4,7)?
I have found at the moment a LHD MK1 modified with a 289cu.in engine.
What do You think about a car modified in this way? Could it be acceptable also isn't a completely original factory specification car?
Could You help me in CHECKING the chassis and engine NUMBERS of the cars that I could find in my research?
Please help, if it is possible.
I'm a genuine enthusiast and I'd like to reach this wish of my young age.
Thank You.Kind regards from Italy. |

Your old Tiger remains on our Register but no one has claimed B9472425 HRO since sold by you. More than likely exported !

Just stumbled across your site and brought back memories from 25+ years ago. I reluctantly sold a Mk.1 around 1979 after 4 splendid years for restoration to an enthusiast in Heathfield, East Sussex. HPB 68C Is it still alive ? |

Looking at a RSA Tiger 289 reputed to have been assembled in RSA. I see your register does not credit info from RSA does this mean NO info is available for these imports. Is there any other help to verify originality od RSA cars.

To all the members who turned up at the Rose & Crown, in Thorpe tonight, many thanks to Andrew for the invite, I enjoyed the meeting. I think my Alpine V6 was appreciated as much as I appreciated the ever delightful Tigers. Hope to come again next month if I am welcome. |

Jensen Motors Ltdv built well in excess of 800 home market (HROFE) r.h.d Tigers and STOC knows of more than 550 cars. Many Tigers have been exported over the years and by this posting STOC is appealing to all international owners of HRO Tigers to email the Club with brief details of their Tiger - Vin, License Number and former British Registration No. It is hoped that a list of all HRO Tigers can be published on this site in 2005. Many Thanks in advance. Graham Vickery. STOC Chairman |
