Took us 2 hours to get him stuffed into that thing...and 8 to get him out.

Sunbeam Tiger they are the shit!!!!
Sundeam -Alpine. Thnis one unfortunately didnt come with the big motor. I think that was the only difference in the 2 models. You definately get points for spotting the Sunbeam though. Neet little car. Me sittin in the damn thing is like stuffin 10 pounds of taters in a 5 pound sack though. -Amos
I got a friend that has one of each the Alpine is a little four banger and the Tiger is a Ford 260 or maybe a 289 they are cool little cars
That interior looks sweet did your shop do that?

Im just a hair shy of 6 foot and weigh 290 pounds. The little doctor that owns this thing is around 5-5 and mayby 140 pounds. I could never comfortably drive this thing but Doc fits right in. No way in hell I could get in with the top on. Take it easy-Amos
Nice interior Amos!! And nice plug for your shop taking the pic in front of your sign. Thats good man...LOL. That car would be a blast to drive with GM's new LS3 and 6-speed installed.
Thanks, its got a Ford 6 cylinder and a 4 speed in it now. It'll scoot. I try to take pics of all the cars we work on and build in front of our sign. Youd be surprised how many folks will steel a pic and use it for thier promotion. Hard to say you did it if its sitting in front of my shop's sign.
You need to throw a couple pics of the 4 seater SSR up on here. Found a buyer yet? Take it easy brother.-Amos
you know I can cut that car up so it fit you better...
Lou, dont worry, as long as you can fit it in we will be shipping all our chassis out your way. Im more of a truck guy anyway. Take it easy-Amos
I don't think there are too many of those out there.
Hows this for ya.....It is either a 60 or 61.... I had a 61 with an alum. hardtop ....was my first ride....., traded it for another bizarre car a 69 MGC.
Sunbeam! I've got a model of an Alpine. I have a bunch of models I never finished. I stopped building them when I started building real cars...30 years or so ago...Hmmm, wonder what those unfinished ones are worth on eBay...
That's a beauty, too. Meant to say that in the first place. I'm a sucker for little cars, especially if you can figure out how to stuff a big engine in.
Owner of this one would probably be interested in the model.
It has hardtop too.
Hey lou, got a question for you, I dig the little car /big motor thing . There were alot of them, the most famous being the Cobra. My question is , what is the differcne between an AC Bristle and an AC Ace. Thanks buddy,and I think it is really cool that as busy as you are you still find the time to bull-shit with us every day.
