"1967 Sunbeam Tiger Mk IA
Sold at $137,500

S/N B382002093 LRX FE
Dark blue with dark blue softtop over black leather interior. 164-hp, OHV, 4.3-liter V-8; four-speed manual transmission. Very good to excellent paint and brightwork on this example seen at RM Sotheby’s. All the trim as well as the door, trunk, and hood gaps are at least as good as new, possibly better. Excellent interior; great seats and dash.

The Shelby-designed, Ford-powered Sunbeam Tiger has long been called the poor man’s Cobra, but as prices of collectible versions of the car reach this level, perhaps a different description is needed. Just a decade ago, dusty, derelict Tigers littered suburban streets in L.A., yet now enthusiasts haunt garage sales in hopes of finding an undiscovered car. Based on the Sunbeam Alpine Series V, the Tiger Mk IA is the most common of the three versions of the car sold from 1964 to 1967. The market value of this car is going higher."

Not one piece of trim lines up on the right side, that always bugs me.

But the left side being all wonky is OK? ;) ...Probably the least of this cars issues as we have discussed in the 3 sales its been involved in in 18 months....
 
Where is the date?

Yes, this was covered some time ago. It's really not much fun to merge threads even though the same responses occur. Everyone loves a Pinata!!

I did like going to the article and seeing the M1. A recent Tiger buyer in my area has had a M1 for some time. I'd say he has good taste and his Tiger looks better and at 1/2 the price of that Midnight blue car. I agree with comments on other sites and posts, "The buyer and restorer must have been drinking."

Measure twice and drill once, on the Pentastar, or "Oh this looks like a good place" said the 3 pint lunch installer..
