This certifies that as well as falling into the correct B9470001-B9473762 chassis numbers for the original Mark I Tigers built between June 1964- August 1965; the car has furthermore met all the requisite standards and criteria necessary for validation of being an original 'Sunbeam Tiger' manufactured by the 'Rootes Group Ltd' and 'Jensen Motors Ltd'. This validation process includes, but is not limited to, a thorough visual examination of the specific elements, features and methodology used by the manufacturer to create the 'Tiger' including the fact that the ID tags are fixed with the original rivets.This is one of the original and very early (# 668) Mark I Tigers built in the very first six months of production between June - November 1964 (built 9/23/64) with the remaining Mark I's built between January - August 1965 and 1 of only 3,762 of these first generation models built and an original Left Hand Drive export version.The car was recently repainted in an original date correct factory 'Midnight Blue' color from it's original 'Forest Green' factory color. We have had the car recently mechanically restored with work not limited to but including the following:Hydraulic Systems:Rebuilt Clutch Master CylinderNew Clutch Master CylinderNew Brake Master CylinderBypass Brake Booster System (Faulty Booster)New Rear Wheel CylindersNew Rear Brake ShoesNew Semi-Metallic Front PadsEngine: New Spark PlugsNew Spark Plug WiresNew Air FilterNew Remote Oil Filter GasketsNew Water PumpNew Edelbrock carburetorClean PointsRadiator Cleaned & RepairedRemote Coolant Tank cleaned & repairedReplacement Throttle LinkageNew Fuel Filter & rubber fuel linesRebuilt StarterNew Collector GasketsSuspension:New KYB Gas Shock AbsorbersNew Panhard Rod BushesWheel Bearings cleaned & repackedWiring:Organize Stray WiringRepair Wiring Harness damageRewire Electric Fan to eliminateRepair Dash Panel LightMiscellaneous:Replace all coolant hosesRepair and paint fan shroudNew fan BeltTrunk:Install Interior PanelsObtain Spare Wheel & TireInstall Trunk CurtainRepair Battery Hold Down & added trayInstall Jack Hold Down BracketsThis is a rare mostly all original and stock example of one of the original intriguing Anglo-American hybrids! The brainchild of 'Rootes Group's' West Coast sales manager Ian Garrad who asked Carroll Shelby to again drop a small block V8 Ford engine into a suitably modified British roadster; this time one of the 'Rootes Group's' own modified 'Sunbeam Alpine' roadsters. Ian Garrad, impatient to establish whether the conversion was feasible, commissioned racing driver and fabricator Ken Miles to build another prototype as quickly as he could. Miles was provided with a budget of $800, a Series II Alpine, a Ford V8 engine and a 2-speed automatic transmission, and in about a week he had a running V8 conversion, thus proving the concept. All 'Rootes' products had to be approved by Lord 'Willy' Rootes, who was reportedly not happy when he learned of the work that had gone into the Tiger project without his knowledge. He agreed to have the Shelby prototype shipped from America in July 1963 for him and his team to assess. He insisted on driving the car himself, and was so impressed that shortly after returning from his test drive he contacted Henry Ford II directly to negotiate a deal for the supply of Ford V8 engines. 'Rootes' placed an initial order for 3000, the number of Tigers it expected to sell in the first year and the largest single order Ford had ever received for its engines from an automobile manufacturer to date. The result had been electrifying enough to have convinced even Lord 'Willy' Rootes himself that it should go into production with the Ford powerplant even though Rootes had already sold a large stake in his company to one of Ford's closest rivals, Chrysler. Meanwhile Shelby had hoped to be given the contract to produce the Tiger in America, but Rootes was uneasy about the closeness of his relationship with Ford, so it was decided to build the car in England. The Rootes factory at Ryton did not have the capacity to build the Tiger, so the company contracted the job to Jensen in West Bromwich. Any disappointment Shelby may have felt was tempered by an offer from Rootes to pay him an undisclosed royalty on every Tiger built.The 'Tiger' as it was named received great press but they were never built in large enough numbers or for long enough to really make a mark probably due to their high cost at the time, not much less than a Corvette, and more likely because it wasn't obviously any different from it's 4 cylinder sibling and which was further exasperated by poor promotions and consequently poor sales and interest. Nevertheless, in subsequent years, the word began to spread from the actual owner's of these cars that the 'Tiger' was indeed a "wolf in sheep's clothing" and interest in these sadly no longer produced cars continued to build over the years.The car remained mostly the same throughout it's short production, the Series I models had the lightweight 260 4.2L V8 Ford powerplant as had the later 'IA' generation as they are referred to by enthusiasts and the later Series II cars were upgraded to the 289 4.7L V8 small block. All versions were terrific performers and became widely respected in sports car circles. The original 260 V8 engine was infamously fitted extremely snugly into the engine bay of the beefed up Alpine's chassis and suspension, which boasted a very strong chassis featuring an X brace design welded to the body and carrying wishbone suspension at the front and a live rear axle on leaf springs, and the most notable change was a switch to rack and pinion steering and with no room left in the engine bay the battery was relocated and mounted in the trunk. After Chrysler eventually acquired the entire Roots Group in 1967, the conflict of interest in continuing to use their nearest competitor, Ford's, powerplant in one of their cars proved impossible to continue and without a substitute engine for the car, their own 273 small block V8 was too large to fit in the car, convinced Chrysler to order that production of the Tiger was to end when the Rootes' stock of Ford V8 engines was exhausted; Jensen assembled the last Tiger on 27 June 1967, making the 'Tiger' an almost instant collectible.
