This 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mark I is a beautifully presented example of Carroll Shelby–influenced British muscle, combining classic roadster proportions with authentic American V8 power. Finished in its rare factory Balmoral Grey (paint code 76), this Tiger is one of just 27 examples produced in this color, which was only offered for a short period of time. Most Tigers finished in Balmoral Grey were paired with blue interiors, making this example—optioned with black leather and retaining its correct black dash—an especially rare and desirable configuration. This is also an early-production car, further adding to its collectibility.
The exterior presents with a purposeful, understated look that suits the Tiger's aggressive character perfectly. The front and rear bumpers have been removed for a cleaner, sportier appearance, though both bumpers are included and remain in nice condition should the next owner prefer a more original presentation. A tonneau cover and new wheels and tires complete the exterior.
Under the hood sits the original 260ci Ford V8, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and a 2.88 rear end, delivering the raw, mechanical driving experience these cars are known for. This is a true Mark I car retaining its original drivetrain—an important factor for collectors. Recent mechanical updates include a new exhaust system, new suspension, traction bars, and new front brake calipers, making this Tiger feel tight, responsive, and ready to be driven.
Inside, the cabin features a black leather interior with a black dash and carpeting, offering a timeless, driver-focused environment. A wooden steering wheel adds period-correct charm, while working heat makes the car far more usable than many classic roadsters. The car is equipped with power brakes and front disc brakes, providing confident stopping power to match the performance.
This Sunbeam Tiger benefits from numerous new parts throughout, many of which are visible in the photos, reflecting ongoing care and investment. It's a well-sorted, honest example that blends originality with tasteful upgrades—made even more compelling by its rare factory color combination and early production status.
