Subject: Re: [Tigers] Original Tiger Port of Entry and Sales Information

From: Jim Burruss via Tigers <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2022 23:57:13 -0500

My 1965 Tiger was purchased new from Nick Graffeo Motors in Birmingham, 
AL, by a Huntsville, AL, resident on August 4, 1965. Presumably, 
Huntsville did not have a Sunbeam dealer at that time.  When I purchased 
the Tiger from that original owner in 1968, Chrysler had purchased a 
majority stake in Rootes, and Sunbeams were serviced locally by 
Huntsville Dodge.  I still own that Tiger.

I recall a document that said my Tiger's port of entry was in Texas, but 
I can't find that document now (which aggravates me since I'm a pack rat 
and save everything in my Tiger folder); so I can't back up that 
recollection.

Very neat, I'm keeping a copy of this for sure!     Interestingly, the deal=
er for my car is not on the list.     My owner's manual has everything meth=
odically typed into it, and lists the selling dealer as Little Simca Center=
 in Longview, TX.      I also have a shipping invoice that lists the port o=
f entry as Houston, TX, and the ship as the S. S. Silver Sea.   That docume=
nt is the one that was recently emailed with the CAT newsletter.   I google=
d "Little Simca Center", but have only found a couple of newpaper archives =
with ads.
