Once upon a time
Once upon a time, long ago and far away I owned and later foolishly sold a Sunbeam Tiger MkII. It was a 289, one of only 536 made that year, I believe 1967, I have a bit of history and only a couple of pictures, but no VIN number. It was Orchid Green (baby poop) with black and white (below the doors) stripes. I sold it about 1972 to a Reverand Paul Grassi who later moved to Ontario, Canada. I would love to find out if it still exists, hopefully with a Pelican. It no doubt survives somewhere as I doubt it was junked. The weren't many Orchid green and very few 289's. Rootes Motor Group owned the rights to the car in it's last year I believe. A lot of things, like old desireable cars, end up in California. Maybe someone knows someone who knows someone etc., etc. I hope someone somewhere is enjoying it. I wish I still had it. Paid $2900 and sold it for $1400, a lot back then. Thanks for giving it some thought.
