I also put Shelby information on the windshield when I show my Tiger. An
excellent book to have with you at shows, and photo copy some key pages out
of is: The Shelby American Guide, Second Edition; by Richard Kopec, which
features a chapter on the Sunbeam Tiger. There may be a newer edition out.
The Table of Contents page from this Shelby American Guide book is a really
powerful document to show people. The Tiger chapter ("Tiger Connection:
Tiger - The Poor Man's Cobra") is listed I think right before or after the
427 Cobra. Excellent book for general reading as well on all Shelbys and
Shelby Racing, but I think it is a great educational tool for people not
familiar with the Tiger. The Tiger chapter really does not provide much
new/different information on the Tiger specifically, but inclusion in the
Shelby American Guide is very powerful. The best stock Tiger picture in the
chapter is a Carnival Red MKI Tiger with LAT 70 wheels ---- looks just like
my Tiger.
The fact of the matter is, it is this very book that got me interested in
the Sunbeam Tiger when I picked it up while in highschool in the late
70's/early 80's. I knew nothing of the Sunbeam Tiger til I read this book.
I was hooked immediately after reading it.
The book shows up on Ebay every so often. I highly recommend picking one up
if you don't have one.
