mikeljgt500kr Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I am not very knowledgeable about Tigers, but this one looks really nice, and opinions from you experts? http://www.legendarymotorcar.com/site2/listing/1965-sunbeam-tiger-mark-1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hamilton Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 WOW! Hadn't really followed them for a while but the prices have really shot up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Legendary has a pretty good reputation, so if you want a restored ready to go car, I wouldn't be afraid of this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07shelbygt/sc1904 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I know that Shelby was involved in legitimizing the tiger but I was wondering if there were actual Shelby tigers or was he just a consultant similar to modern GT 500's. Also if there are Shelby tigers how would you authenticate one and are they included in the Shelby registry? though the cars and show were far before my time I have often wanted to get one because of get smart.

cobrakidz Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Shelby American built the Tiger prototype but that's as far as it went - Jensen built the production cars. This Tiger is very nice but very high on the price end, you can find a beautiful MkI and IA for $50 - $70k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Very nice car & very costly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Mike. .. I'll put it bluntly for you since we are friends. ... way too much money! Tigers are not the poor man's Shelby Cobra people are trying to make them out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
