Yahoo autos have a tiger article posted on march 1:

https://autos.yahoo.com/news/sunbeam-tiger-carroll-shelby-forsaken-mistress-170033107.html

Some notable errors:
"The Tiger was a performance version of the Sunbeam Alpine, which first appeared in 1953."

"Norman Garrod that his company outfit the Alpine with an off-the-shelf V8 engine. Garrod contacted his son Ian, who was Rootes’ West Coast sales manager in the United States, telling him to find a suitable motor."

"Production issues plagued the building team from the start. The oversized engine barely fit into the small car’s frame. Despite such problems, the series 1 production car"

No mention of miles car or any of the competition or production numbers.... But at least some pr to the wider community
