Sunbeam Tiger V8 (Alpine)

Vehicle details:

A one-of-a-kind Sunbeam V8 302 race car with full street registration – a vehicle with a history and configuration unlike any other. This convertible (with hardtop included) has been built as a race car, yet remains fully road legal with H-registration, all modifications officially documented, in excellent condition, and ready to drive immediately.

Included in the sale are numerous spare parts, all listed below, which come as part of the package.

The conversion was originally carried out in the USA by a NASCAR race mechanic, using a Sunbeam Alpine body as the basis for a fully-fledged race car.

 

The vehicle was imported to Germany in 2012 and has since been perfected over the years with significant effort and investment. It has been designed to be enjoyed both on the road and on the track.

Despite its extensive modifications, this car has never actually been used in competitive racing.

The Sunbeam is in excellent, well-maintained condition, has been serviced regularly, and is immediately ready to go. Visually, the car shows no signs of rust. Engine, gearbox, clutch, brakes, and tires are all in perfect working order.
