Sunbeam spare parts

The Sunbeam brand was founded in 1887 by John Marston as a bicycle manufacturing company. From 1901 onwards, motor vehicles were produced - high-quality cars and, more importantly, motorcycles. The brand's vehicles earned a good reputation for their reliability.

As early as 1935, Sunbeam was taken over by the Rootes Group. Since then, the sportier models of the Rootes Group were sold under the Sunbeam brand.

The Alpine and Tiger models look very similar externally but differ significantly in technology and performance, with the Tiger representing a higher evolutionary stage of the Alpine - it was essentially its "muscle-bound V8 brother".

With the takeover of the Rootes Group by Chrysler, production of the Tiger ended in June 1967 and that of the Alpine in January 1968. From 1970, a four-seater coupé based on the Hillman Hunter was marketed under the name Sunbeam Alpine.

Engineers Kenneth Howes and Jeff Crompton were commissioned in 1956 to develop a sporty vehicle primarily aimed at the US market. The result was the Sunbeam Alpine, a British roadster that was produced 69,278 times across five series (Series I to V) between 1959 and 1968. Each series brought technical and stylistic advancements.

Tiger (1964-1967)

The Sunbeam Tiger is a legendary British roadster with an American heart—a true muscle car of the 1960s. The Tiger was created in much the same way and by the same people who brought the AC Cobra to life. A powerful and affordable British chassis was to be fitted with a high-performance American V8 engine.
