The lower moulding came from a series 4 Alpine/ MK1 Tiger. The MK1A Tiger was based on the series V Alpine no lower finisher
The sv and mkia still had the lower finisher. Its what conceals the black painted area of the area of the front valence in the grill.
And so did the MkII.
The MK II came with a slightly wider finishing strip. I only know this from having to do a repair in 1968 . . . . .just sayin'
Hey david, yes mkii was definitely blacked out in grill area.
I couldnt remember if it still used the lower finishing strip.. ?
The mkii grill (iirc) finished with the last part of the egg crate being a horizontal piece that covers the paint line eliminating the need for the finishing strip didnt it?
Randy you talking finishing strip or grill eyebrow? I know the mkii grill eyebrow is flatter and wider.
Michael, there is a lower grill finisher strip on the Mk IIs. It sits about 1/4" in front of the bottom slat of the egg crate grill. The lower finisher strip on Mk IIs covers up the dividing line between the black inside the grill opening and the body color on top of the front valence, just like the other Tigers.

Yes, the upper grill finisher strip on Mk IIs is unique and a lot wider than the same piece on Mk 1s and Mk 1As. I thought the lower finisher strip on Mk IIs is the same as what was used on Mk 1s and Mk 1As. I'll check the Sunbeam Parts Manual when I have access to it to see if my memory is still somewhat intact.
