This car has remained with its original owner throughout its entire life in a small town in southwestern Michigan. Purchased new in 1969 from Camps Cars in Midland, Michigan, by James Mayhak, the vehicle was carefully kept under his ownership until his recent passing. We acquired the car from his wife, who can no longer live independently. James' children shared fond memories with us, recounting family road trips and local cruises. Interestingly, most people in the town never even knew he owned the car. Interestingly, James was actually my Father Inlaws drivers-ed teacher.This Sunbeam Tiger remains incredibly original, from the engine and braking system to the vinyl accents. It’s a true time capsule, complete with a vintage removable stereo and a CB radio. We're thrilled to pass this special car on to its next appreciative owner.Exterior: The body of this Tiger is exceptionally solid and incredibly straight. From the original pinch welds to the panel gaps, every aspect of this car is aligned perfectly. It was repainted within the last 20 years in its original Carnival Red, and the trim, bumpers, and all hardware are in excellent condition. The hood features a tasteful scoop, flawlessly painted to match the car. The glass is in great condition, with no noticeable scratches. The top remains in excellent shape and appears to be the original material. We also have the original soft boot and tonneau cover.The paint job still shines beautifully, with only a few minor touch-ups that are nearly impossible to spot. The wheels are date-stamped ‘66, original to the car, and fitted with a new set of tires. The emblems are in great condition and remain clear. The doors open and close with precision, and the trunk pops open effortlessly. The exterior of this car is simply stunning. We also have the original front license plate bracket.Interior: The interior remains fully original, from the seat materials to the carpeting. The steering wheel is in excellent condition, and the dashpad is crack-free and well-preserved. All gauges are functional and display clearly. While we have the two original Rootes emblems that were removed for the installation of aftermarket Stuart Warner Volt and Vacuum Gauges, we opted to leave them in place as we really like the gauges. The removable Sony radio is a great period-correct touch, as is the CB radio, which works properly—though the transistor radio currently doesn't power up. The original carpets are in great shape considering their age, and the seats are excellent with only minor wear on the driver's bolster. The original shifter remains in place and functions properly. The dashboard face looks fantastic, and all switches and toggles operate smoothly. The wipers, horn, lights, and heater all work as they should, and the heat control biases move smoothly. The door cards appear original and are in excellent condition. We also have the original spring-loaded removable visors. There are no unwanted odors inside the cabin. The trunk is completely dry, even under the fuel tanks. The original lower panel is in great condition, and the cupboards are intact. The original tool kit is present, as well as the spare tire, which is date-matched to the car. Overall, the interior is a reflection of the car's original, fantastic condition.Underhood and Underbody: Under the hood is the original Ford 260 V8, which we've confirmed to have a build date predating the car itself. It retains its matching valve cover decal, and all signs point to this being the original engine delivered with the car (as we were told). The engine bay shows a lot of originality, from the air cleaner down. We've had the carburetor completely rebuilt and fitted with a new, reusable air filter. Both the Girling brake and clutch masters have been rebuilt, and the entire braking system has been thoroughly serviced. The calipers have new pistons, and the system now includes new flexible brake lines. The rear wheel cylinders are also new, and the car is equipped with fresh brake shoes. The shocks on all four corners are brand new. The fuel tanks were removed and professionally cleaned, and the fuel line has been replumbed to the pump. The underside of the car is in excellent shape with solid metal components. The frame is strong and intact, and it’s worth noting that James reinforced the X-section of the frame for added strength, which was a common rust-prone area. All bushings are intact, and the suspension components feel tight and roadworthy. The factory exhaust system is perfectly aligned and exits the car at the stock locations. The overall condition under the hood and underneath the car is consistent with the rest of the vehicle, showing minimal alterations and maintaining its original integrity.On the Road: The 260 V8 starts easily, even when cold, and settles into a smooth idle. It revs freely and sounds great through the stock mufflers. The engine runs at a steady temperature and remains quiet, free from smoke. The car has fresh fluids throughout and is ready to hit the road. The 260 V8 provides plenty of power and is an absolute blast to drive. It shifts smoothly, and the clutch feels fantastic. The car tracks straight and handles confidently on the road. Braking is responsive and the car stops in a straight line. The suspension is tight, with no clunks or rattles. Driving this Tiger is an exhilarating experience, and it’s clear that this car is built for enjoyment on the open road.Conclusion:This 1967 Sunbeam Tiger MK1a is a true time capsule, blending incredible originality with thoughtful care and maintenance throughout its life. From its beautifully preserved body and interior to the fully functional, matching-numbers engine, this car stands as a remarkable example of automotive history. With its original components, meticulously rebuilt systems, and a driving experience that’s as thrilling as it is smooth, this Tiger offers its next owner an unparalleled Vehicle Description 1 Owner with Original Title20,127 Miles- Believed to be OriginalOriginal Engine- Decoded BelowVIN: 382002354 LRX FEBought Brand New By James Melvin Mayhak in Hartford Michigan on June 7th, 1969 at Camps Cars in Midland MichiganOriginal Title and Tiger Vehicle and Purchase Identification along with the original Chrysler Sales Brochure.
