My Tiger was sold new in Germany. It had been rescripted as Alpine. It has
amber tailights and still have the German dealership insignia on trunk! It is
a LRXFE model and has been taced (0022). A previous owner put Tiger script on
it to make it easier for him to sell as a Tiger but I have been considering
changing that back to Alpine. The story that I have heard on this car is
that it was sold new in Germany and that German (European?) law dictated no
two vehicles with same name. At that time there was a Goliath Tiger which I
imagine came before the Sunbeam.
By the way has anyone got a picture of a Goliath Tiger? I would be curious to
see what that looks like.

I just saw an old ad for a sunbeam 260 alpine and I was wondering what the
differance was with it and a tiger?? I am assuming that it is the same car but
tiger was never mentioned. The ad was from a road america program 1964. Any
help?
thanks
Jay
