Tom, and Michael,
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Tom. Now I "have" to answer the
question.
Michael is correct.
There were many clock faces used by Smiths for Sunbeam Alpines and
Tigers (all "dealer options). Bottom line:
* The Sunbeam Tiger Mk I used Smiths CE 3030/00, which is in my car.
The 3 and 9 are sideways, and the bottom timing adjust and time
set are on the bottom sides, and the hands are red.
Smiths CE 3030/00
Smiths CE 3131/01
In summary,
The MkIA and MkII used Smiths CE 3131/01. The 3 and 9 are upright, and
correct number for your car.
Unfortunately, due to List space restrictions, only you and Michael
King will get a directly sent version that does have the pictures.
As an additional piece of information, these clocks were electric
wind-up, and may not be working. Never fear, a solution is possible. A
good instrument shop that deals in Smiths, can replace the mechanism
with a quartz VDO guts in the original shell. The VDO movement is
reported to be extremely accurate. Who knows, if mine fails, I'll have
to consider this.
