Ive loved Sunbeam tigers since I was a teen. Im looking at one for sale on Webeautos that has been modified with a stroked 302 and 5 speed that looks beautiful in metallic grey for $ 51K. My concern is that these modifications effect the value of the car and will effect resale. The seller claims the motor makes 375 hp and I worry that there can't be enough rear tire to get the power to the ground. I would love some feedback from some of you experienced Tiger owners regarding these questions. Thanks much

Those are a lot of mods. I'm thinking rather squirrely if it really does have that kind of horsepower.
No mention of a TAC
Lots of the original bits are missing..
Seems like if it had a Dale's front end on it it'd be a nicer. Don't know if I really care for the fiberglass seats and the too much of a race car theme, unless that's what you want to do with it.
We've got a big problem right now all dressed up and no place to go, in this car's case no place to go very fast and possibly not even using pump gas

Zooooom!
More than a little structural intervention. As Warren chimed, it's missing a lot of original stuff. I don't think it will be a comfy cruiser. More of a straight line smoke maker for the younger crowd who dump interest quickly and move on. A limited slip rear ???
