Sunbeam Alpine And Tiger

The Sunbeam Alpine and Tiger were in many ways revolutionary cars, coming as they did from a British manufacturer with no history or reputation for sports-car design. The Alpine remained in production for nine years: the remarkable V8-engined Tiger for scarcely one third as long, yet this is a fascinating story in British motoring history.Topics covered include: Complete history of all Alpine models; Full details of the Tiger, based on the Alpine with the Ford V8 engine; Detailed coverage of Alpine and Tiger racing and rallying fortunes; Full specification tables for all models; Super specially commissioned color photography; and Special feature panels.
