Thanks for featuring my Tiger on 1320video. I've owned Tigers for 35+ years and think they are great little cars . Sunbeam Tigers are fairly rare , only about 5000 were imported to the U.S.A. Now , thanks to your very popular channel more people will know about that other little British roadster with a Ford V8. At my next event on June 3rd , the Tiger ran 171.2 mph at the Arkansas Mile.

A few years ago i saw this car at a half mile event in Chicago, talked with the guy for about a half hour at the end of the day. The truest enthusiast I have ever met. The car was cool, too!

Love me a tiger, dad's got the 4 cylinder version, the Alpine. Still need to do it up though. Brilliant looking cars.

I want to give the guys who do these videos some love. Super polite, well informed and always able to find a car as cool as a Tiger. Man, you all must have a ton of fun! Keep it going, love the work.

Super polite? most the time they talk over the top of the person they are interviewing. It was great to see that guy yesterday in the silver mustang who would not let them.

Wow, he was running with some high end automobiles and keeping pace! Nice little car!

im honestly so happy that he atleast kept a ford motor in it 😁

I'm surprised there wasn't one mention that this car is another genius creation of Carol Shelby and crew. They used to nickname this car the "Poor Man's Cobra", but with the prices these days, not anymore! Love that old British styling too! Beautiful car!

Big Big Respect from Paris , this car is Beautiful and the performance are Amazing Thanks for Sharing this Gorgeous Car

86" wheelbase?!?! Oh man that guy is the boss!

it was SOOOO fun to watch this Tiger keep up with the current hot rods

My dad had a 66 with the 289. REALLY fun car. Someday I hope I can find it and buy it back. Great memories.

Carrol Shelby was a genius.!!

Absolutely love it!!!

Sunbeam Tiger, awesome! I have only saw one in my lifetime.

Now THAT! Is a bad ass build!

I owned a stock 1967 Sunbeam Tiger and always had problems with heat in the passenger cabin. How do you deal with the heat of 525HP?

Such a good looking roadster!

Best car profile ever done by 1320video. 👍🏻👍🏻 I grew up with these. My grandpa has 5 Sunbeam Tigers. He has one with a Boss 302 and a 100 shot of nitrous. Scariest car I've ever been in.

I personally recall this very rare and cool line of cars.

Pretty Awesome!

Now, this is cool !

Outstanding and very impressive he gave those cars a good run for their money.

Love it. Sweet car!

This is the first time Counts Customs has been the first place I saw a vehicle. Now 1320 stretching it's vehicular prowess showing us something not American, Italian or Japanese. Good work, please keep up the hard work 😀

Lean mean green machine. Love that color, really fits the car.

Cool car! Glad it's not an ls.

Great ride

Nice looking car.

I used to work for a guy that had a Sunbeam Alpine with a blow through turbocharged 4 cylinder. He's had a couple Tigers as well.

I love it something unique, different and original

Grandpa can get down! That really is a sweet ride.

cool guy with an even cooler car!

that's true love right there!

the sunbeam caught up with the viper in the parking lot and almost passed him :)

That's a gorgeous car.

Mad respect! I have a 60's Aussie Chrysler and it feels sketchy at 60mph

great car, great personality

There was a ROW, a whole row of these at Hilton Head Concours last weekend. Even a 1-of-1 fastback version. I was going to buy one that was sitting in a yard in 1997 in Exeter, PA, but it was really rusty. It did have the complete Ford engine. When I opened the door, it fell off, and there was no top, so years of weather had hit the floor and interior...

Nice Tiger ❤

Dude that thing is fucking awesome!!! Really pretty.

Beautiful car.

the same type of car that was in Get Smart. Cool car cool owner too.

that cars stunning bud

Cool as hell.

OK, that's pretty nuts. I owned a Tiger for a few years, and until you've worked on one, you have no idea how tight the engine bay is. You change the #8 spark plug through a trap door next to the gas pedal. As for an LS swap - not unless you're going to do major surgery. The old Ford small block fit because it's dimensionally tiny. Even then, the 302 was the max you could get in without hacking stuff up. The 351c or w wouldn't go 'cause the extra deck height meant the valve covers would run into things.

woah that thing is beautiful

What a gorgeous car! Imagine if he put two tiny snails in there!!! 1000hp Sunbeam Tiger! 202in the mile!

Easily some of the coolest wheels ever, especially on a cool Sunbeam.

That dude is a hero

As a 'sport sedan' guy, gotta say that coupe is very cool 🤘

life goals

Those types of cars are so much more fun to me. I don't care if they are "Slower", they are stupid fast but, still scare the hell out of you. That's why I can't wait to start building a Caterham super 7 kit car when I get a new house with a bigger garage. Fastest thing ever? No. Scary fast and small? Yes! especially after turbo and ethanol.

that cars a swagger hound

I wanted to see it run the 1/4 and see if the "its takes a 2500lb car 500 hp to go tens" works (considering tires and suspenion of course).

For a +50-year-old car, it's damned fast. A lot of modern cars can't outrun that little bastard. :) It's a bit unruly to drive due to the short wheel base but that makes it just even more of a thrill.

I had no idea they made full size micro mini machines!

What a good guy holy shit I would have a few beers with him

I bet alot of competitors were surprised to see it anywhere close.

British car with British styling with ford and AC and the powerful 2nd gen versions even had Shelby cobra engine Jenson interceptor was quite similar aswell

That car is gorgeous, the wheels, the sexy tyres, I would only need 300 ish and drive it a LOT!

He will kill himself with it!! So instead I bought 66 K code mustang for my 1st car at 18 years old (much more tame Ha ha ha and yes it still had the Hipo in it !!! drove it everyday for 14 years and now I still have both the Tiger and the K code fastback mustang....something English with an american heart!!!!

LOL some of the most loaded people I know ride superbikes. I want to get another ZX10R to supplement my LS3 swapped dry sump/caged/track built S2K. One of if not the most modified LS2K in the world and I want another bike again. Funny how they 'suck so much' I'd want a bike again eh? A stock bike will shit on 99% of cars out there. Turbo the bike and you shit on 99% of modified cars all over again. Around tracks outside of aerodynamically assisted cornering the speed is pretty close too. You have no idea about bikes bro. 0-120mph in 5-6 seconds? low 9s traps out of the box all day, no overheating trans bs etc.. Most hypercars can't even come close to that.

Is that curt bowland?
