Description
The Sunbeam Tiger was a racing car of the 1920s, built by Sunbeam of
Wolverhampton. It was the last car to be competitive both as a land
speed record holder, and as a circuit-racing car. The chassis and
bodywork of the Sunbeam were conventional for racing cars of their time.
The car’s novelty lay with its engine. Sunbeam’s 1925 Grand Prix engine
had been a successful 2 litre straight-6 twin-overhead-cam. This car was
to use a pair of the same block and head arrangements, mated to a single
75° vee crankcase to produce a 3,976 cc V12. Supercharging brought the
power up to 306 hp (228 kW).
