I saw this car before it went to auction; needed paint, top redone(missing  
back glass moldings), interior work, no spare cover, 70's glue on side 
moldings,  windshield scratched and all rubbers bad.  Had screws holding ID 
plate and  the motor was frozen. This went for $28,000.00. So that is what you 
are looking  at these days. Do a E-Bay Motors search for Sunbeam, highest 
price and get  e-mail for new listings. Check Hemming's and Craig list every 
week and you may  find a nice one. I found mine in Hemming's a few years back 
and spent  $18  for it. One owner and garaged for most of it's life 0 rust. 
All the mechanicals  are done, just needs some trim work and a new top. Good 
Luck

Hi  Everyone,

I've been becoming interested in classic cars over the last  few years, and 
I
recently came across the Sunbeam Tiger.  Needless to  say it was love at 
first
sight for a number of reasons.  I am just  curious about how much it may 
cost
to realize my dream someday.  In a  perfect world, I would find a driver 
that
would work for a number of years,  with hopes of restoring it down the line.
What is a reasonable expectation  to pay for a Sunbeam Tiger Mark 1A in
drivable condition?  I know  there are different levels of restoration, but
what do you think the range  for that may be?

Thank you for your help! This is a great  resource!

Tucker  Brown
