Thanks for the memories.
I spent my early childhood crammed in behind the seats in one of these (long before anyone cared about such things).

im kinda in he sam problem my dad has one that hasnt been started in like 37 years haha

i was thinking of getting a non original. fiberglass body. then dropping maybe a motorcycle engine in it like those smart car projects, since its so small i think it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to drop a busa engine in it. even tho it would be a hellashious ride. the only problem i think ill run into is torque.oh and backing up. thanks for pointing out a perfect car. peace

the tiger had a ford 260/289 in them. when chrysler bought sunbeam they ended production because there small block wouldn't fit. they wouldn't sell a car with a ford engine in it.

Recently, Diecasm presented a fitting homage to my father by using photos of his Sunbeam Tiger to represent their current Sunbeam Tiger Homage Edition. I think it is very cool that Diecasm selected photos of my dad's Tiger for their site. It all started with a Hemmings competition to help Automodello select their next diecast car to go into production...and the rest is history.

My Dad took one of these for a burn around the Rootes factory yard in the 60's then ran back inside before the security men could identify him. that engine looks a tight squeeze in there! Maintenance nightmare?

Not too bad. The factory tried to make up for the tight space. For example, the factory created a hole in the firewall to get to the passenger side rear spark plug. Otherwise you would have to do alot of work to get to it...The factory also rerouted the oil line to place the oil filter in an position for easy replacement. "Some" thought was taken before the Rootes guys broke out a torch and shoe horn in order to jam a Ford V8 where a tiny straight-four Rootes engine used to sit.
