It would be great to have the Sunbeam Tiger in the game - preferably the 289 Ford powered version rather than the earlier and less powerful 260.
A very stylish and fast car from the mid 1960's produced in the UK by the British Rootes group. The Series 1 was manufactured from 1964 to 1967 and was fitted with a 260 cubic inch V8 (4.3 litre) engine producing 164 bhp and approximately 6,000 were made. The Series 2 was released in 1967 and fitted with the Ford 289 cubic inch V8 (4.7 litre) from the Ford Mustang and produced 200bhp. Less than 700 Series 2 cars were built before the project was killed off in 1967 by company politics - Chrysler, the parents of the Rootes Group didn't want a Ford engine and were unable to supply an alternative Chrysler lump that was compact enough to fit.
