Index

The Sunbeam Alpine and Tiger Were in many ways revolutionary cars, coming as they did from a British manufacturer with no history or reputation for sports-car design. The Alpine remained in production for nine years: the remarkable V8-engined Tiger for scarcely one third as long, yet this is a fascinating story in British motoring history.

Topics covered include: · Complete history of all Alpine models · Full details of the Tiger, based on the Alpine with the Ford V8 engine · Detailed coverage of Alpine and Tiger racing and rallying fortunes · Full specification tables for all models · Super specially commissioned colour photography · Special feature panels
