While I would dearly love to show you better pictures of this 1967 Sunbeam Tiger II, the seller has decided to only include shots they could take without pulling the car out of wherever it’s stored. At least it’s inside and apparently under cover! It’s located in Carson, California and is up for sale here on Craigslist, with no price given. Special thanks to reader Gareth R. for this terrific find!

I’m sure most of you know the story of the Sunbeam Tiger, the other mainstream small British sports car with a Ford V8. The Tiger II is a even a little more special, with a 289 cubic inch replacing the previous 260 and somewhat more modern trim being added, including an attractive egg-crate grille. There were only 633 Mark II’s produced, so its quite rare! I wish I could show you the complete car, as the lines are really nice. From what we can see, this car looks pretty nice. The seller certainly thinks it is from the language in the ad, or maybe they just really don’t want to be bothered by tire-kickers.

We can tell something from this picture, though, with a little detective work. 1) The LAT (Los Angeles Tiger) 70 accessory wheels are pretty rare, and that leads me to hope this car has been enthusiast owned from day one (possible since this is listed in the ad as a one-owner car). 2)The Goodyear GT radials date (I think, based on this page) from 1979-1982, so it’s probably a good assumption that the car has been off the road for a while. The fact that the tires and wheels are reasonably-sized and the fender lip trim is intact give me hope that none of the wheel wells have been cut for larger wheels and tires (common on well-used Tigers). 3) I believe the stripe is factory, so that’s a good thing as well.

The “Sunbeam” script is only found on Mark II Tigers. I prefer it to the badge on the Mark I’s, but that’s just personal preference. The paint looks relatively shiny and I can only hope that continues down to the vulnerable sills. The only thing I can see that isn’t original are the mirrors (maybe Vitaloni Californians?), which I happen to like, although not on this car. The owner says they have all documentation and will be phone-interviewing (!) potential purchasers. Are you one?
