I am in the process of getting my 66 Tiger back to as close as like original and correct as I can... at least as close as my wallet will allow.
I would like to know what the correct fender badges are for the front wings and boot. My car has the Chrysler pentastar just in front of the rocker on the lower right fender. My car came with the "Powered by Ford 260" on the front with "Sunbeam V8" on the boot. Initially, I didn't think much about these but then I read that Chrysler obviously had issues advertising Ford engines and changed to Sunbeam V8. Should this car have all Sunbeam V8 or is it fine just
the way it is. Just curious.
Thanks
Dave
 
My Mk1a was 99% original and untouched since 1970 when the guy I bought it from, bought it. It had Sunbeam 260 emblems.

Either way, it's not a big deal as I see it. But all (3) should match.
 
Emblems

A magnifying glass against an old instamatic photo showed 260 emblems on B382000078 when we bought it new. We've replaced the emblems over the decades at some point with the V8's.
