Andrew,

Unfortunately, you are limited in options for Tiger scale models.  To my
knowledge, there are 3 cars (6 listings, including duplicates and
re-releases)

1) "Johnny Lightning" James Bond 007 Dr. No (Item 261-00), which is
really an Alpine. About 1/43 size

2) The same car, in a set of ten "Super Spy" collection.

3) "Johnny Lightning "British Invasion" "1967 Sunbeam Alpine" (Item
236-01), which is really a Tiger!

4) Original '60's vintage AMT Sunbeam Tiger 1/25 scale model plastic kit
#2003. Replica is available, from same dies, as a "AMT Blueprinter
Series #8159"

5) Very nice (and "presentable") brushed pewter model on a polished wood
base and a "Sunbeam Tiger" base label. This item is from Mark Models
Ltd, B33 9 AQ (which I presume is in England.)  I bought my model from
"The Very Best of British", (P.G.I Corp.) P.O. Box 4955, West Hills, CA
91308.  Their phone number is 818-703 4660.

I can recommend the last one, as it is a quality display piece, and not
a toy.

Good Luck, and let us know just how famous your guest is, and why a
Tiger is appropriate.

Sincerely,
