Cobra is a race car that could be driven on the street as a daily driver in nice weather.

 

I got a ride in a 289 Cobra at Pocono race track.   He snapped the Cobra to 120 mph like nothing.  He would have gone faster but he did not get the wire wheels balanced to his satisfaction.   There was a slight shake in the steering wheel.   Breath taking experience.

 

Tiger is a touring car with some luxury and comfort build in, an all weather daily driver.

 

Back in the day there was only a couple thousand dollar difference in price but that was big money then.   Both have good and bad merits.

A Cobra is just a rich man's Tiger.

Unrestored 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mark I: The Cheap Shelby Cobra Alternative? (motortrend.com) <https://www.motortrend.com/features/1965-sunbeam-tiger-mark-i-shelby-cobra-alternative/> 

Not all the details are correct but a good write up.

Check out all the pictures.

I would say his definition of unrestored is different than mine.

Engine compartment looks stock but not everything looks original to me.

There are some other Tiger articles listed at the bottom of the page.
