        In the book " Sunbeam Tiger and Alpine Gold Portfolio 1959-1967"
by R.M Clark, Brooklands Books, ISBN 1 870642 49X  starting on page 163: 
"The Beefy Sunbeam Tiger" there are 6 large photos and a detailed write on 
that car.  The first words are "We drive the only ex-LeMans racing car 
to find its way to  Australia"    It also states that Lance Dickson of
 Chequered Flag Motors, a local Datsun dealer in Melbourne was the owner. 
 There was no date on the article.
        The book has 20 or so Tiger articles in it, all extracted from
various publications.  Nice coffee table book.
