i had a johnny lightning of one of these, came with the 007 aston martin vanquish. looks like a tame british sports car but then again so did the cobra and we've learned that cobras are no joke, this thing probably isn't a comedian either at full throttle.
@FatGuyWithAKatana I'd like to take a spin in this baby. Mustangs are crazy fast with this same engine/trans combo....can't even imagine what this thing is like.
Those were absolute screamers. When I was in highschool there was a Sunbeam Tiger car club. The guys in the club told me the reason why they used the Sunbeam Tiger was because it was the only small 2 seater that had a heavy enough frame to support the V-8. I thought I saw Gateway Classic Cars listing an MGB with a V-8 though. When the US Dep of Trans changed things with the English sports cars in 1973 one requirement was a heavier frames which helped people like me placed V-8s in their MGs.
@koioo2 Yes the are similar the Triumphs, MG's, and other British sports cars from the time. It should handle well and be very, very fast. Thanks for watching!
looked like a converted alpine? very nice though...

Very much like my friends Sunbeam Tiger, which also has a 347 stroker in it. It's a wild little machine.

@bisquik3006 It's like a Cobra, but even smaller and lighter. It should really move with that 347 in there.

Original engine site shows it was a 4,261 cc , making it already quick ride. Good to see small beefed up road rockets, like this.
