[Tigers] Original Tiger Port of Entry and Sales Information

[steve wick]

I don't have definitive information, but the cars could have been all delivered to east coast ports, then transported from there. Where they would have been sold was just a function of where the dealers in the network were located.

Subject: [Tigers] Original Tiger Port of Entry and Sales Information

All,
I was reviewing a well researched 1995 article What is a Sunbeam Tiger? listed on the STOA website by Von Levandowski from Cobra Magazine.
In it, he states "While about 80% of the original Tiger sales were located on the west coast, ownership opportunities now exist nationwide."
While I knew the majority of Tigers were delivered to California, I had never heard it quantified.
Our Tiger research has always lacked data on delivery ports and retail outlet distribution.

Does anyone know from where this 80% figure was obtained?
Does anyone have additional or contradictory information/documentation on ports of entry and retail distribution?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
B
