Great Pics wish I were there.
Thanks for all the great pics. It looks like the 3rd Tiger displayed (green with tan interior) sold for $62k it was TAC'd according to description by Mecum Auctions. The 4th Tiger displayed (dark blue metallic with grey interior) also sold last weekend for $96,250. The description by RM Auctions (http://www.rmauctions.com/lots/lot.cfm?lot_id=1061219) did not mentioned if it had been TAC'd only that it was that it was listed in the Sunbeam Tiger Registry. Beatiful cars and some hefty prices. Looks like prices are going up.
Keep em on the road.

Pity they dont get some American libre replica wheels for it so it looks period correct.
as for the green tiger at RM.. we discussed that on the forum... 96K.. are
we sure that's a legit bit?.. this car had a home made engraved VIN and JAL.. and is even missing the soft boot cover.. also the SUNBEAM V8 shields... at over 100K all in... I should list my car in the states.. sell it and buy a nicer one for mid 50's!

Just realised, the #7 Tiger is Stephen Sorenson, i thought he used to race a red one with white hardtop that looked like a works rally tiger... this s much more SCCA in look... hope he gets it dialed in and up the front with the SCF car and Tom Sakai.

Steve's #7 is the historic Art Firmes CP Tiger with its full cage removed. It is white with red trim. He "babied" it last week since he has not yet installed some type of prevention for rear spring wrap up like traction masters.
It probably won't take Steve long to get more speed. His engine seems to be as powerful as Tom's or ours.
Last year Steve drove his green Tiger at Monterey but ended up blowing the fuse to his fuel pump.
