This 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1A is finished in black over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a replacement 302ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
Features include a black removable hardtop, a black vinyl soft top, an LAT-style hood, 13″ Panasport alloy wheels, a Fuel Safe fuel cell, a Holley carburetor, Borla mufflers, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel.
Service in April 2023 involved changing the oil and brake fluid as well as rebuilding the carburetor and brake booster.
The replacement 302ci V8 was installed and is equipped with a chrome air cleaner cover, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a Griffin aluminum radiator, an aftermarket fan, Tiger-branded valve covers, electronic ignition, exhaust headers, and Borla mufflers.
Additional equipment includes an Edelbrock intake manifold as well as a roller camshaft and valvetrain.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ford Toploader four-speed manual transmission.
A Fuel Safe fuel cell has been installed in the trunk.
The Sunbeam Tiger Owners Association certificate of authenticity was issued in June 1997 and lists the original color code, engine number, JAL number, and chassis serial number.
Finished from the factory in Arctic White (92), the car was repainted black.
Exterior details include a black removeable hardtop, a black vinyl convertible top, an LAT-style hood, chrome bumpers with overriders, dual exhaust outlets, and Sunbeam V8 badges.
Silver 13″ Panasport alloy wheels are mounted with 205/60 Federal Formoza FD1 tires.
Stopping power is handled by front discs and rear drums, and the car is equipped with Koni dampers and a rear axle torque arm.
Work involved rebuilding the brake booster, changing the brake fluid, and installing front and rear Dale’s springs.
The cabin houses two bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl along with a color-coordinated dash surround, door panels, and carpets.
Amenities include a wood-veneer dashboard, a heater, a storage cubby, and a locking center console.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of an 8k-rpm tachometer, a 140-mph speedometer, and gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level.
The tachometer and oil pressure gauge have been replaced with AutoMeter units.
The five-digit odometer shows 97k miles, total mileage is unknown.
