Lightweight Fun! 1935 Austin 7 Nippy

25-Year Slumber! 1966 Sunbeam Tiger

The Sunbeam Tiger deserved better. It wasn’t the design’s fault that Rootes (Sunbeam’s parent company) got taken over by Chrysler and the small Chrysler V-8 didn’t fit where the Ford 260/289 did. It also wasn’t the Tiger’s fault that… more»
