Lot #1026 - Absolutely gorgeous and well-restored, this is genuine 1966 Sunbeam Tiger has been authenticated by the Sunbeam Tiger Owners Association and retains the original VIN tag rivets. Every part was removed and the body was mounted on a rotisserie. The interior and trunk are finished with matching black pebble grain vinyl and black high-quality sewn carpeting. All gauges are Tiger original reconditioned Jaeger units, and the wiring has been completely replaced with an original replacement wiring harness. The original wooden steering wheel has been reconditioned and nicely finishes the interior. The engine is upgraded to a late '60s performance-built Ford 302ci V8. The cooling system was upgraded to a 4-core radiator and retains the original fan shroud. The original Ford Toploader wide-ratio 4-speed manual transmission has also been rebuilt. Transmission shifting is performed with a special Hurst Competition Plus shifter that has the appearance of an original short handle, yet has the nice tight feel and close pattern one expects in a competition classic. The driveline was glass-media-blasted, painted with black enamel and enhanced with heavy-duty U-joints. The rear differential was disassembled, inspected and rebuilt with new bearings, seals and "proper" paint. All the brake and clutch hydraulics have been replaced or reconditioned to new. Front brake caliper dishes are all new, with replacement stainless units. Brake lines and hoses are all new as well. This Tiger comes with its TAC certificate and sticker.
