I haven't heard about the one-and-only Harrington Tiger ending up here in Washington State. Could you might be thinking of the D Series (Series IV-based) Harrington Alpine, owned by Buell Ish of Carnation, Wash? It's pretty much identical in appearance to the Harrington Tiger.

Was that the test mule of the Lister Tiger.If so it was rebodied by Brian Lister to match the 2 he built that ran in the 64 Lemans.
That was after the Lemans.Dick Barker owned it for quite a while.It did not have the side air intakes to the cabin.

I dont know what that car is less of.. a harrington or a tiger.. and as for MKII Tiger claims...yikes(they even list it as a '65)!
I wonder what the base of the car is.. a MKI Tiger thats had a S3 Alpine rear grafted onto it.. or a Series 3 Alpine thats had the Tiger front and tunnel put in it... than a Harrington top inserted..
That said makes for an interesting car.. but its not a harrington tiger.. and doesnt appear to be MKII Tiger either... i wonder what the story behind it is? There was a gold coloured finned Harrington/Tiger conversion in the UK mags back in 2007.
Also this car has wires (and hevaily flared front lips) its interesting it has the elite style bolt on wire wheels, a tiger here uses those.. but you have to be careful how much right foot you use.
Thanks for posting the link.. certinaly an interesting amalgamation of sunbeams.

i posted a photo of a series 3 alpine that has had a tiger conversion done to it along with a harrington top with sunroof. this car was at SUNI 1 and was shipped over to the east coast and driven to snowmass,colorado. i remember a gold one also but haven't found that photo yet. i'm thinking one of the owners may have had the name of peter mathews. anybody remember better than me after 22 years? i also found a photo of HARRY at SUNI 1 and i'll post it later. http://s606.photobucket.com/albums/tt142/65beam/

Always nice to see both Listers and the rebodied mule together.
