There is a new horse in the stable

[Pfreen]

A 1967 Sunbeam Tiger 1A.  I am going to do a complete restoration.

That's a beautiful Tiger! Does it really need a restoration?!

[Pfreen]

Yes.  It does not have rust, which is rare and the engine seems to run ok.  I get the tag tomorrow so I can drive it and really find out what working.  I just drove it around a parking lot before I bought it.  Everything else has to be gone through.  The car has no history, so I am going to rebuild everything to concours.  For that, I need to do the certified treatment.  However, the tiger is a unibody, so no taking the body off the frame.
It keeps me out of trouble.

Nice addition pfreen! Wish l lived around the corner, now that I’m retired I’d have plenty of time to help work on your new project.  I like your yard sign 

[1970EuropaGuy]

That will be a fun project. Looks narrower than the Europa. My wife always talks about how small my Europa is but it's actually larger than my MGB, maybe a little lower.

Great pair of cars and a sign of hope.

What a beautiful Sunbeam! 

(I have no opinion on the sign)

260 or 289 cu in?

How much rust (looks like zero).

They sound lovely just purring away.

As Tony says, they're grrrrreatttt.

[Pfreen]

It's a 260.  It does sound great.  There is no apparent rust.  I will find out for sure when I scrape all the undercoat off.  The place where I bought it had a lift so I got to get a good look.  I have a lift as well.  I just got the title and  tag so I will drive it today to see what elseI need to focus on.  The engine seems to run pretty well.

I did find yesterday that the left front fender had been hit.  I found it by noticing the tire to fender clearance was 3/4" smaller on the left side.  Hopefully when all the filler is removed, it will not be too bad.
