Hello Gang,

When I got home today I had this month's publication of Sports & Exotic Car magazine, which is published by Hemmings Motor News, in my mailbox. It has an article in it thatis 6 pages long about the value of a Sunbeam Tiger. Good Reading and good to have Sunbeam make a major magazine again.

Cheers,

I get this magazine as well, I find it very enjoyable.

Now that it's a month later you can get to the article on the web...

Thanks for posting - good stuff. But I do wonder a bit about the focus pic that comes up first - wow, that steering column is NOT right... the back half of the wheel hub is *missing* as well as the horn ring. Plus the signal stalk is bent. Yikes. Not exactly our 'best foot forward', eh?

Car looks to be a MKII, has the shelby style minilites, the tach i assume is meant to be a LAT item (most likely a spridget tach reworked) but cant see if the text in the middle says 8 cylinder.. there were some mumblings on the list about the article a little while back.. apparntly not that well researched... though apparetly not as bad as one in the UK currently.

The back half of the steering wheel hub appears to be there - it's just very difficult to see. The steering wheel's extended as far out as it can go.
