This 1966 Sunbeam Tiger MkI is a true enthusiast's car. After all, you had Carroll Shelby's winning formula with a V8 in a lightweight British sports car. But where the Cobra would introduce the idea of a car we could drive to the racetrack, the Tiger was the car that was fun to drive everywhere. So to find a first-gen example with such a stock style really lets your senses visit a bygone era where it feels like there were more hours on the weekend and the backroads just belonged to you.
Dual exhaust tips, minilite-style wheels, and a hood scoop are the subtle yet distinct ways this drop-top announces it's a speedy machine. And the clean lines of the MkI Tiger show exactly why it was the right car for the Ford V8 transplant. The outstretched headlights, deeply sloping hood, full-length trim, and tall rear fenders with a hint of tailfin remind us of the first Thunderbird. But this is no mini T-Bird. Sunbeam crafted a true European with svelte lines, tasteful brightwork, and a compact style that lets you know it's a nimble machine. The Arctic White paint is the car's correct color. It has a clean look and an overall driver quality style, and that may just be the ideal way to present this car. Its price is on the value end of the scale. So you may just be looking for a great way to get the car of your dreams, or maybe you're looking for the right base for your restoration. Either way, this one gives you a drop-top classic that lets you hit the road for some carefree fun on day one.
The interior of the Alpine was also the heart of why its Tiger brother became so well regarded. Sunbeam gave these cars reclining bucket seats, roll-up windows, full carpeting, and a substantial dash with plenty of wood. It made these feel comfortable without being oversized or overweight. This one even has a newer black convertible top (it may need an adjustment to fit properly.) So the Tiger had the substantial feel of a car you could drive all weekend long. And we love how it straddles its American and European lineage. The thin-spoke steering wheel and Jaeger gauges are pure British cool. And the floor shifter is unmistakably borrowed from the same Falcon/Mustang line that donated the motor.
Today we all know the Tiger was no weak feline. The 260 V8 badges on the fender and rear are quite important. It reminds everyone that this featherweight British machine has a healthy American heart. It has a very stock and correct presentation. So you can choose to give it the paint and polish of a show-ready car, but we bet you're also excited about a hardy powerhouse that's ready for back road fun from the start. The V8 fires up nicely and the newer dual exhaust gives a subtle intimidation note worthy of the Tiger name. Nimble steering, the control of a four-speed, and the stopping power of front disc brakes make for an excellent classic sports car.
There are plans you may want to do with this one, including giving it a respray (after all, we all dream about diving a blue one like James Bond.) But those are the kind of projects you can plan for in the future. From day one you have a very complete car, right down to earlier maintenance records and the service manual. This example is the kind of classic that gets you in touch with the driving spirit that is the essence of the Carroll Shelby magic. It's a true classic and this one lets you enjoy it without worry today as you plan for the next steps tomorrow. Call now!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT
. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold AS IS and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
