Tiger V8 moves into the Garage!
My friend Chris has been dreaming about a two seater sports car for some time now… So after considering some options he has landed on a sunbeam Tiger… After test driving with very spongy brakes he decided it was the car for him!

    That Pininfarina 504 coupe is probably the perfect car.... gorgeous. Possibly even better than the drophead. I am a bit of a Peugeot fan mind, having worked for them in the early 80's and drove my fair share of 505's from Family Estates to Sti's.

    The 62 was a great version of the Amazon. It had the padded dash that extended over the doors below the wing windows. Volvo should have never eliminated it. A person can still buy the padded dash, however I'm not sure if anyone sells the padded dash that goes on the doors. I never could find any. The 62 also had a really nice grille with a large chrome piece surrounding the outer edge. This a really nice car!

    Nice video and a lovely Saab with beautiful color. My father one with same colour, 4 dr, my75, L spec. As it was a newer car , it had high seat backs and "safety" steering wheel. The other spec would have been LE, direct injection engine model. So not much specs to choose 😂. My father had several Saabs, as they were the safest cars on long journeys in harsh winter conditions here in Finland.

Hideous outside with an interior reminiscent of an airplane toilet. Yours is a lovely old girl.

    I love this video! My first car was a Triumph TR6, but that was only because at 15 and only having jobs mowing lawns and shoveling snow I couldn't afford an E-type V12. By the time I could afford one I was more into practical vehicles that suited my businesses. Like some watch rebrands (Blancpain, Breguet), Jaguar has changed hands so many times now that it has permanently broken its connection to its heritage. Unsurprisingly its marketing now looks like Swatch marketing. Expect colorful plastics along with those electric motors and a life expectancy of three to five years before the new ones, if they ever make it to market, hit the landfills.

I have a problem though , that it doesn’t seem to work automatically at all , or the hacking function . Time is accurate when wound manually and it runs well but just not in auto or hacking ?

    Exactly same year and colour as my stepdad's except his had a black vinyl roof. Parked outside the house car thieves broke in but for some reason couldn't steal it (think it was out of petrol) so they smashed every dial and guage including the steering wheel badge. Wasn't worth repairing (this was 1988) so he scrapped it and bought a used double six instead.

    I've had Series 2 and Series 3 Jags. 4.2 and XJ12 versions of the Series 3. They're all wonderful. Anyhow, on mornings like the one you have illustrated, I just pour warm to hot water onto all the screens and the side windows. Clears the frost instantly. And no, it diesn't crack the windscreen. Boiling water might, but not hot water from the tap - which, by the time you've walked from the kitchen to the car on a morning like that, has cooled a bit anyway in yur plastic container.
