Due to the BABVVO and TEBBVO laws, all petrol cars will unfortunately soon be banned from public streets in the EU, CH USA and Scandinavia :-( In Germany, the Green People's Party has given the order to shorten the fuel supply from 2025 by reducing all conventional gas stations to just one state-run central gas station per city or county Now they even want to slow down all gas pumps by 20 liters per minute to 2 liters per minute... From 2027, some car spare parts will also be banned in the EU... such as exhaust systems, turbochargers and even some engine and gearbox oils. .. California and New York will do the same from 2027... So no more investing in petrol cars... They even created a new type of crime here called emissions and smoke crime . "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbotsverordnung" BABVVO in Germany and HESCHLAVVO in Switzerland and SMORVERBIDDEN in Sweden.

Truth was the Alpine and Tiger were built on a Commer Cob floor pan and bulkhead which went out of production with the rest of the Hillman Minx Audax range mid 1967

The X brace was added to the Alpine and Tiger the floor pan which was actually same as the pressingasc Commer Cob van and Hillman Husky. From the factory floor sill to rear wing seam was lead filled.

I remember these first being available on the British market. We knew a salesman at the local Rootes garage in Norwich who allowed us into the showroom one lunchtime. The bonnet (hood) was open and we looked at the Ford power plant and were impressed but then we looked at the steering and counted five universal joints to connect the steering column to the wheels. Yea Gods what happens with wear! We could not believe it! We were now out of our time window and from then until the late nineties when my friend died we laughed at the steering. It worked but it was amazing!

Make sure that you install the rear brake line that goes over the transmission before you install the transmission, also the wiring harness.

Almost any interior color can be used with Light Ivory. I like the dark green and dark blue. I reassembled my 65 C also so know what you are up to. I had a fair number of missing pieces also. A 3 North Caolina owner C.

There are some differences between Reutter bodied cars and Karmann bodied cars just so you know.

Thanks for doing these videos. Did you need to do an machine shop work on the 356 motor and if so did you use someone in NC?

Great insight into a unique front end set up. Love seeing it come together.

awesome video, sounds to me like you did enjoy figuring it out if not the actual installation . You as always are an artist, my car will never be on this scale of perfection.

Very useful thanks. Ps you could probably have drilled out your existing jets to the new size

Did you ever figure out the issue?

Had my Tiger 47 years. Last winter ter went to the 15 inch wheels plus Jegs Wilwood brakes. Big difference.

Your are an artist

🤷 Promo-SM

Awesome, take the good when can get it.

You got to do shinny I mean come on man

Wow what luck

Cool car. Most young people would probably not know what it is if they saw it on the road as Sunbeam never lasted as a brand. Different era. Better to get one now before the prices creep up too much.

Funny looking, sort of beautiful in her own way ... looks like a Jetsons car.

Thanks for the history lesson ... I love the rear end of the Tiger.

Two things…the pinch welds under the doors look like they sag in the middle, does yours? Also i have a Chrysler emblem on the front quarter panel. Any idea why?

The Tiger was a real mongrel. The body/chassis unit was made in Scotland by Pressed Steel and a trimmed Alpine shell was delivered to Jensen Motors in Birmingham, who also assembled Austin Healey 3000s on the next production line. Jensen took an asbestos pattern and put it over the bulkhead/transmission tunnel and cut out around it with an oxy-acetylene torch. They then welded in a new larger pressing with an oxy torch .... a good point for rusting. Holes were burned inthe X-frame for the exhausts to pass through and the battery box cut out (the r/h exhaust would have passed through it), the panhard rod tower was welded to the chassis leg and a bracket onto the axle. The front crossmember had steering rack mounts welded to it and the wheel arch was clubbed with a wooden mallet until the dynamo had clearance. Add the poverty spec 260 and BW gearbox, uprated rear axle, rack and pinion with bent trackrods and reversed uprights, some additional wiring and a different tacho, speedo and ampmeter. Touch in the paintwork and add a battery tray and electric fuel pump in the boot, some tags and the job was complete. No body stiffening or better brakes. A real rush job, somewhat Heath Robinson. The car was much better than this sounds with good performance and lovely light steering. The rear axle location wasn't the best and after a fast run the brakes would catch on fire and feel as if a brick had been placed under the pedal! I loved mine but it was a UK car and the rust worms had devoured large chunks of it. I fitted a 289 and box from a crashed TVR. That really highlighted the bad brakes. Ford Capri vented discs and Princess 4pot calipers sorted that problem. I cried when I had to sell it to fund my career back in 1977.

Thanks for this video. It's really helpful.

Nice video. The STOC had engine, gearbox, axle and key numbers for my car. The eng number is on a little ledge on the block, just in front of the left hand head. I think you can read it with the head on.

My brother has one. It has original cobra wheels and and some other mods. It is exciting. Fun car. He solved the hot firewall problem.

Well that’s annoying

Cheers! good luck

Alpha’s definitely the prettiest! Love the color and who doesn’t like the smell of a shoe store?

Do you have any project Cars for sale ?

Sounds great

Seems like that was easier than the one 40 years ago in another little red car

Very cool sir nothing like a Buick

Awesome video I learned a lot
