This 1964 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1 is finished in white over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by replacement 289ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a white removable hardtop, a tonneau cover, chrome bumpers, 13″ alloy wheels, Wilwood front brake calipers, an Edelbrock carburetor, and a dual exhaust system. The car was acquired by the seller in 2021, and subsequent work is said to have involved replacing the valve covers and the trunk trim panels. This Tiger is offered with spare parts, memorabilia, a Sunbeam Tiger Owner’s Association certificate of authenticity, and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name that lists the car as a 1965 model.
Delivered from the factory in Carnival Red (39), the car was repainted white with blue stripes under prior ownership. A replacement left door was also installed, and the seller notes that it is from a later model and does not shut properly. Exterior details include a white hardtop, a tonneau cover, chrome bumpers, a hood scoop, hood vents, Talbot-style mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets. Holes are visible on the front fenders from previously mounted mirrors. The soft top is in need of replacement, the hardtop is in need of refurbishment, and the finish on the brightwork has deteriorated, per the seller.
Eight-spoke 13″ alloy wheels wear 205/60 Firestone Firehawk tires that show date codes from 2017. Stopping power is from four-wheel disc brakes with Wilwood calipers up front. The parking brake does not work.
The interior houses bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl with white piping as well as black door panels, a padded center console, and black carpets. Features include carpeted floor mats, Simpson safety harnesses, and a storage cubby. The trunk trim panels are said to have been replaced under current ownership. The seller notes that driver’s seat does not latch properly, the dash pad is cracked, the horn does not work, and the washer pump is in need of replacement.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of Jaeger instrumentation that includes a tachometer with a 4,700-rpm redline, a 140-mph speedometer, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows less than 2k miles, approximately 250 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 289ci V8 was installed under prior ownership and is equipped with an open-element air cleaner, an Edelbrock carburetor, an aluminum radiator, and braided oil and fuel lines. Service in June 2022 reportedly involved changing the oil as well as replacing the valve covers and spark plugs.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Additional underside photos can be viewed in the gallery below.
The Sunbeam Tiger Owners Association certificate of authenticity was issued in January 2019 and lists the factory color code, engine number, JAL number, and chassis serial number.
The chassis tag is stamped with chassis # B9470092LRXFE, and the car is titled in Arizona under VIN B9470092.
