    Brackets for Driving Lights

    How were driving lights mounted to the front of the car? Were there specific brackets that mounted to the bolts that support the bumper, did they drill holes into the bumper (yikes), or other? Pictures showing details would be highly appreciated! Thanks.

    Value of LAT-72

    Hi everyone. I was wondering if there is a good sense of the real value of the original LAT-72 radio console for the Sunbeam Tiger or Alpine. With a beautiful reproduction being made, would an original LAT-72 still be considered to be valuable? What are these actually worth? Are they...

    Tiger engine installation

    I am going to be removing an engine and installing a new one in my Tiger. I'd like to understand why so many people suggest doing it from underneath the car instead of removing and reinstalling with an engine hoist from above. What makes it so hard to do from above? It seems to me that...

    Sunbeam Alpine or Tiger Steering Column Cover

    I am in need of a nice steering column cover for my Tiger. I'd prefer one that I could just install and go, if possible, but will take any cover without damage and complete. I definitely need the bracket needed to install it. Please let me know what you've got. Thanks!

    Aftermarket Steering Wheel Hub for Alpine or Tiger

    I have a Nardi steering wheel I'd really like to install on my Tiger but I can't find a hub. I would really like to use this wheel and just can't believe there is no hub for the Alpine or Tiger, or that no other car that uses the same hub as this car for a Nardi steering wheel. Does anyone out...

    Best exhaust system for stock Tiger?

    Hi there. I am looking to replace the exhaust system on my Tiger but am having a hard time with selection and information. I only know of Sunbeam Specialties and Victoria, but I am not sure these are the best way to go in terms of being the best for performance, sound, and value. Does anyone...
