Hi Ron
=20
The Tiger drawing displayed on the 'List' is undated.
It's serial number is though within a small series of drawings all dated =
March 1964.
It is a Rootes drawing, as opposed to Pressed Steel. The author 'E W, =
Gould' was a Rootes draughtsman.
=20
You'll note the model is 'Alpine 260'. It took some months before =
'Tiger' appeared.
Incidentally, Sunbeam Alpine 260 was the official internal name for the =
model (Tourer & GT). And is frequently noted as Sunbeam Alpine Project =
260 as well.
Never seen 'Thunderbolt' on any drawing.
=20
If nothing else lockdown enables the pursuit of such details!!
=20
Best Wishes.
=20
