Sunbeam Tiger: The British-American Hybrid
Sunbeam is a company that we usually associate with kitchen appliances these days. But back in the 1960s, it was a British car company. The Sunbeam Tiger was a unique little sports car that had an iconic blend of style and performance under the hood. The car is mostly remembered for appearing as Maxwell Smart’s car in the 1960s television comedy series ‘Get Smart’. But besides the sporadic media appearances, the car was also very popular thanks to its great performance and agility (via Hagerty).
The Sunbeam Tiger was produced from 1964 to 1967, with just over 7,000 units built. They’re a rare ride but every once in a while you’ll find one out in the wild. The unique driving characteristics and the one-of-a-kind performance make this car worth seeking out. Also, these tiny convertibles are simply a blast to drive, so if you’re looking for some classic car fun, this may be the ride for you.
