Sunbeam Alpine and Tiger : the complete story

The Sunbeam Alpine and Tiger were in many ways revolutionary cars, coming as they did from a British manufacturer with no history or reputation for sports car design.

The Alpine remained in production for nine years - the remarkable V8-engined Tiger for scarcely one third as long.

Graham Robson, who worked at Rootes/Chrysler Group in the 1960s during the Alpine Tiger era, chronicles the history of these sports cars.

Topics covered include the complete history of all Alpine models; full details of the Tiger, based on the Alpine with the Ford V8 engine; detailed coverage of Alpine and Tiger racing and rallying fortunes; full specification tables for all models; and special feature panels.
