History
I bought my '66 Sunbeam Tiger MKIA in 2006 from a friend in the USA. The car had a complete photo documented acid dip restoration ober 2 years. The car was TAC'd (authenticated as a genuine Tiger). The car had won many awards at shows in the USA ans was a well known car wihtin the Sunbeam community there.
The car arrived in Australia in May 2007. Since then i have enjoyed using it on many Sunbeam club events www.sunbeamcarclubvictoria.com.au and it has participated in many shows and static and moving displays.
The car was shown in the auto avenue event at the 2012 Australian Grand Prix.
