Offered for sale is this exceptional 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I, an authentic, two-owner Northern California example that has been carefully preserved and tastefully enhanced while retaining its original character. Documented with its coveted STOA authentication certificate, this Tiger represents one of the most desirable Anglo-American sports cars of the 1960s. Under the hood is the legendary Ford 289 cubic-inch V8 paired with the sought-after Ford Top Loader four-speed manual transmission, delivering the unmistakable performance that made the Tiger a true rival to far more expensive European sports cars. This example is further enhanced with rare Cobra racing cylinder heads, providing even greater performance while maintaining period-correct appeal. Finished in its original factory Code #58 Midnight Blue, the car received a spectacular $20,000 professional repaint in 2023, restoring the body to an exceptional standard while honoring its original factory color. The finish beautifully complements the timeless lines penned by Rootes and refined by Carroll Shelby’s engineering team. The cockpit remains true to its heritage, featuring the original polished wood dashboard, original gauges, and beautifully presented black leather upholstery. Mechanical upgrades include a conversion from the original generator to a modern alternator, improving charging reliability without compromising the car’s classic appearance. Authentic, documented Tigers continue to be among the most collectible Anglo-American sports cars ever built. Combining unmistakable V8 performance, timeless styling, and outstanding provenance, this beautifully restored Mk I offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the finest examples available.
