Thanks guys.
34-40 - I got over the last hurdle on the brakes tonight. The wheels I picked out actually fit! I'll get another update up ASAP.
falconvan - I have ran across 3 Tigers at various shows and knew a guy in high school that had a couple of the Alpines that the Tiger was based on. Unfortunately, he never got them on the road. They were neat little cars, closer in size to a Triumph Spitfire.
All the Tiger owners talked about how fast they were and how hot the footwells got.
I can only imagine on both counts.

Don't wish to digress from the theme of your thread; but couldn't let that remark go by without commenting on it:

A good friend of mine has a Sunbeam Tiger, I've been in it several times, but Ian has never allowed me to drive it. (Perhaps he doesn't trust me? I wonder why!)
I can vouch for the fact that they go like a scalded cat, and stick to the road like dogs**t to your shoe.
A real 'fun' car!
They're almost as much fun as the Cobra!

Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.

No problem. I enjoy the conversation. I'm not sure what the weight of a Tiger is compared to a Cobra, but since it's smaller, I would think the 289 Tigers might even be quicker than a 289 Cobra. Originally Posted by johnboy

That is terrible, sad to hear about him.
