Another oldie but goodie. Lots of cars in the hood and one in the headlight, along with the sky surrounding the headlight. I remember the Sunbeam but not who made it. Cool, Rob! - Patty

It's all about perspective and perception.
One of the best of your series, Rob. A Sunbeam must be really rare in USA, I think...

The Sunbeam was less of a rarity in Canada (where I am) I suspect. I remember seeing many of them, including the otherwise rare Sunbeam Tiger seen here. They had a sweet sound and went like crazy! Small car, V8 engine, fun combination. Reminds me of a buddy of mine who bolted a V8 engine into an MGB. That lasted about a week. ;)

May the sun bring you new energy by day. May the moon softly restore you by night. May the rain wash away your sorrows. May the breeze blow new strength into your being. May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life. (An Apache Blessing)
A Tiger it is BB .. well done.

Rob... unknown to many, the car in this photo is a rare 1968 Tiger 289, Rootes Group (the factory) installed Ford 289 cu.in. V8, as opposed to the more predestrian Ford 260 V8 installed in cars through 1967. I know because in September of 1967 I bought a new 260 Tiger at Jay's Auto Imports in San Leandro, California. My car was Mediterranian Blue (not the dark blue show on this car), but sitting on a turn table in the corner of the showroom was this car's identical twin, right down to the color. Personally I didn't like the egg-crate grille, the smoothed headlight rings, the chrome wheel-well rims, or the tape stripes along the lower quarter between the wheels. So, I purchase the 'cleaner' 260 Tiger. Mine, however, when through many transformations until it looked (and sounded) like a Cobra (Cobra blue, over the hood/trunk stripes, side exhaust, hood scoop, Firestond racing rubber, etc., etc.) and I autocrossed mine in northern California for three years before returning to Utah, where I sold it to a Ford-fanatic. I'm not sure my car even exists anymore, but I really enjoyed owning and driving it! It was a great car!!!

Seem to remember them in the US in the early 60s. Most were a POS. The first Bond film featured one. A classic indeed.
