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.

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
