The 1975 Chrysler Tiger was an open-top two-seater roadster concept derived from the Rootes' Sunbeam Alpine. Chrysler was going to install its Slant-Six and 318 V8 motors but the project was abandoned along with other Rootes models. Only two prototypes were built using Ford Cleveland V8s as testbeds but were destroyed. #sunbeamtiger #sunbeamalpine #alpine #tiger #v8 #rootesgroup #roadster #roadsters #opentop #convertibles #prototypes #chrysler #hillman #britishcars #cars #carillustration #cardrawing #sunbeam #redcars https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvs4n1EFPgG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=187k4n1sl86qe

236-365 1963 Humber Sceptre - Photo a Day Project

Built just down the road at Coventry 54 years ago, the Humber like all the Rootes Group models had problems with rust so I imagine it’s had plenty of restoration work to get it in this condition. I have just noticed one for sale on a Classic Car site for £7000

MG's T-series proved that Americans loved #sportscars - and that there was a huge appetite in America for something that wasn't an Olds Super 88 or a Hudson Hornet but could be enjoyed as a performance car. Rootes Group, then aiming at America primarily with the #Hillman Minx and Husky but also offering the somewhat exotic Sunbeam-Talbot 90 and it's derivative, the Alpine Mk1 roadster, watched Americans hoover up sports cars in the mid-50s and wanted a bigger piece of that pie. Thus it was that Ken Howes and Jeff Crompton worked up a more mass-market replacement for the original #Alpine (then being made famous by Grace Kelly) - the new car, with it's patently transatlantic look (directly influenced by Howe's time with Loewy & Associates, who worked on Rootes' Audax range, and Ford) and soaring tailfins, debuted for 1959. It was very much unlike the slinky MGA or the old-school Triumph TR3. Underneath, the Alpine was mostly comprised of parts from the "Audax" Hillman Husky, introduced a year earlier, which might have led people to believe it was more pedestrian than it's rivals - good to drive to races, but not *in* races. That proved not to be the case - the Alpine was a terror in SCCA G-production competition and soon Jack Brabham was driving one as his personal car. The fins were subsequently clipped and the engine enlarged from 1,494-cc to 1,592-cc, and then 1,725cc over the course of the car's life. The Alpine continued in production into 1968, but after Chrysler's takeover of Rootes, replacing it was not a priority - the Arrow-based Alpine fastback of 1968 was a very different (and less popular) car. By then the Alpine had been overshadowed by its V8 sibling, the Tiger.  #SunbeamAlpine #Britishcars #RootesGroup #roadster #britishsportscars #England #california #trb_autozone #whatremains #vintage #discarded_but_not_forgotten #cars_abandoned #rust #junkyard #salvage #junkyard_treasures #AlpineIII

This is a Sunbeam Alpine / Tiger shooting brake / estate concept based on the gorgeous Harrington Le Mans version. I think it is a lot nicer than another design floating around on the web. Sunbeam never made a wagon version. #sunbeamtiger #sunbeam #sunbeamalpine #rootesgroup #britishmotors #britishcars #british #greatbritain #britain #uk #cars #cardesigndaily #cardesigns #cardesigner #conceptdesign #concepts #conceptcars #design #technicalillustration #technicaldrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/BrEcCFbl5Tn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wjba3wh7gd0
