New race car in transit :)

Ok.. Last time I saw the car was in 1993. My uncle has finally decided to let go of his 64 Sunbeam Tiger. It has been sitting since 1992. But the plan is to keep it more or less completely stock and play with it on the autocross course from time to time. Well, and drive around my lovely wife too

I know, another darkside vehicle, but I had to share with my gear head buddies. Pics will be coming once it arives (7-10 days being it is coming from NY)..

Growing up one neighbor had an 67' Alpine and the guy across the street had an Avanti . Another down the road had a Datsun roadster , like a 73' . I like the sunbeams

Re: New race car in transit :)

sounds fun. There is a guy in the alternate tinkerings section that is building a wild sunbeam.

Re: New race car in transit :)

I love dark side vehicles, they just need some chevy power
I fell in love with a Sunbeam Alpine with a turbo SBC in it, I don't think I'd fit in one though.
