I don't believe my Tiger was badged correctly when I bought it; all
3 were Sunbeam V8. My Tiger had evidence of 3 accidents and it went
through my restoration so those badges could easily have been lost and
changed. It currently has Powered by Ford 260 fender badges and Sunbeam V8
on the trunk because I found those badges and I like it like that.
Most pictures of the time indicate that 260 badges were on the
fenders and Sunbeam V8 was on the trunk, however I suspect that if the
production line ran low or short of one of the badges they would probably
make a substitution.(?)
I'm not sure any of us have the absolute correct answer for this
one; Norm miller and David Franchi are the area experts.

Guys,
I'm having a bit of an issue determining the proper side badge for my car. I
have one of each of the following:
Sunbeam V8
Sunbeam 260
Powered by Ford 260
My VIN is B382000026 which is an early crossover Mk1A. The BON says that for
the late B947 series cars, the proper badge should be "Sunbeam 260". It then
describes B382000001 to B382000900 but neglects to list the proper side
badge. From B382000901 until the end of the Mk1As, they used "Sunbeam V8".
If anyone has access to an early car like mine and could let me know the
proper badging, I'd appreciate it.
I seem to remember the second question having been discussed but can't find
any reference in my notes. Does the Ford Motorsports oil filter adapter work
with Rick's headers?
Thanks for the help,
Joe Parlanti
