The Sunbeam Tiger: A British Luxury Sports Car with a Powerful Ford V8, Much Like the AC Cobra

In many ways, the Sunbeam Tiger has a lot in common with the AC Cobra, not least the fact that it’s a dainty British sports car that has a beefy Ford V8 hiding under the hood. But the commonality is no coincidence, as the man behind the original Cobra, Carroll Shelby, was behind them both.

This particular example has spent its entire life in the care of two South African enthusiasts, where the dry climate has done wonders to preserve its steel body. Alongside the brilliantly preserved exterior, this fantastic example showcases a wonderful interior, boasts excellent mechanical health and is even accompanied by an impressive history file. Now repatriated to the UK, this lovely and unspoilt example of Britain’s Cobra, is road-registered and ready to be enjoyed.
