Two outstanding machines, each with compelling strengths. The 1964 Sunbeam Tiger Mark I excels in its unique character, while the 1967 Sunbeam Tiger Mark II stands out for more power. The best advice? Drive both if you can, then follow your instincts.
Tracing the evolution of the Sunbeam Tiger from 1964 to 1967 offers a compelling look at how automotive design and engineering progressed. These two variants showcase the changing face of Sunbeam. The 1967 Sunbeam Tiger Mark II holds a clear advantage in raw power with 200 hp compared to 164 hp, a 36-horsepower difference that shapes the driving experience. The engine configurations differ significantly — a V8 in the Sunbeam Tiger versus a V8 OHV in the Sunbeam Tiger. Both trade at comparable values on the collector market, making the choice between them largely one of personal preference.
