Ain't the internet a wonderful thing? I googled "Get Smart" +sunbeam. Answer
from one of the links:
"The Tiger, launched in 1964, was the result of fitting a Ford 4.2 litre V8
into the Sunbeam Alpine bodyshell.
The Tiger was sold in some countries as the Alpine V8. It is perhaps most
famous for its role in the television series Get Smart."
Ain't the Internet grand?

Subject: Alpine or Tiger?
List,
A couple of local firemen were giving me compliments about the roadster
when one says "Yeah, thats the car from Get Smart isn't it?" I told him
no that the car from Smart was a Sunbeam, but I forgot myself is it a Tiger
or Alpine? I know i'ts trivia but can you tell by just looking at them? Or
am I completely wrong?
Sorry for the bandwidth.
Tom
