If you buy a Sunbeam Tiger, you need one with a full frame-off restoration or to have a full frame-off restoration. I watched them racing on the sports car tracks on the West Coast of America in the 1960s. I should have bought one back then but did not have the money.

Has there been a release day for the movie?

Being Australian I wish these were made here. I reckon they would have sold like hot pies.

"Trowel more chrome on it Nigel the Americans' will love it" lmao

Where can I watch the full movie? Is it streaming somewhere?

I love Sunbeam Tigers. They were the original pocket rockets. They were the perfect combination of British roadster with lunatic American muscle.

Interesting conversation, could have used less of the cheesy rock background music that at times made it appear as though the conversation was secondary..

I can flash back to the beginning of Get Smart and Maxwell Smart jumps into a sunbeam in Washington DC. That's where my spycraft foirt began. Wasn't post to talk about being a spy with the British empire. ❤

Thought the Sunbeam handled eceptually well , it beat the cobras .

I have the original check from Shelby American to George for the development on the Tigre signed by both Shelby and George. One of my most prized pieces of automotive memorabilia.

ANY car enthusiast would talk to Jay for a day . I could talk to Jay for a week ! He has a voracious appetite for anything mechanical . 180 bhp is a tad optomistic for that 2 1/2 Daimler Hemi 140 is more normal and built around a Triumph TR3 chassis and running gear .

I so much love listening toJay talk cars. Jay knows cars and he loves cars like I do. Sometimes it brings me to tears.

TURN THE MUSIC DOWN! The verbiage is more IMPORTANT.

when you see a sunbeam alipine you know what it is so unique tail flares and just so distinguished!!!

He must have picked up that English accent from going to triumph motorcycle shows!

Jay, Every moment I have invested learning from your channel is for me one of the best uses of my time.

Need to ditch the red line tires on the G.T.350

Very odd video as if they had filming issues or Leno and the Britts just were not on the same page?

I bought a Sunbeam Alpine in 1980. My good friend, Pete Dorland (Medevac hero, circa 1970, Vietnam) had a Tiger. How could you see that car and not fall in love with it?

I bought a ‘67 Sunbeam Alpine in 1974, after high school. It was a four cylinder. I liked the car and learned a lot about mechanics trying to keep it road worthy. It was a fun time 50 years ago. Sold it for about a thousand dollars as I recall in 1981.

My Dad bought a Tiger in 1977,a Mk1 with the 260 engine. Lovely car, nicely appointed interior, quality finishes and went like a rocket. Not as fast as a Cobra but very adequate. Saw 145 mph on the speedo one time driving it and at the time there were few cars which could out-accelerate it!

Hey Jay, thanks for the review. And, the old car followed by a drone! Gittin' old we are.

He might not have anything to say in life that is relevant or even radically politically important. But he likes cars. Good boy.

It’s been a long time, but I remember 427 Cobras won A Prod SCCA race at Laguna Seca. I think it was the year Chevy put 396 porcupine engines in the vetts attempting to beat the 289 Cobra. First 427 Cobra I ever saw was unpainted and I think it raced as whatever the non-production cars raced as, like the Chaparral. Wish I had pictures from back them. Lots of unique race cars. Most exotic was an open GT40 using the Indy engine to make it lighter. It crashed at Riverside raceway and was never run again. All early 60s.

A good buddy of mine has a brand new baby blue Sunbeam Tiger - and it is awesome. And when I say "brand new" - I mean it. It has central locking, electric windows, Bluetooth, parking sensors, tyre-pressure monitoring, a modern ECU, new full-leather interior, Wifi, GPS Navigation, and a host of other cool features to boot. It looks old-school, but it is very modern underneath, and it is an absolute joy to behold, be a passenger in, and to drive. :D

Old Yella had a disproportionate amount of torque to horsepower, and that's why it beat Porsches and Ferraris, because they are usually tuned to have about 80 to 100 more horsepower than torque, and as we all know "horsepower may sell cars, but torque wins races."

Sunbeam Tiger. The same car that Don Adams of get smart drove in the beginning credits.

I worked on more than 1 Sunbeam Tiger (& Alpines) back in the early 70's. These were all stock with Ford 260 V8. At the time i was a budding auto tech at a European Car dealer. Not to far from where Jay found himself in Foreign Motors. I was in Milton MA He was in Brookline MA just outside of Boston. I actually worked @ Foreign Motors for a short while as a service writer. Jay was not there then.

Cobra looks like a muscleheaded younger brother next to the Tiger.

Thanks guys!

Hey Austin Powers; closing the hood (umm..bonett) now. See you back in Limey Land.🙄

I would take an all original matching numbers 1969 4 speed Yenko Camaro or an all original matching numbers 1969 4 speed DZ302 Z28 Camaro over anything Jay owns

Shelby's Series 1 roadster gets no love from anyone ...

Hey camera guy! When they are looking at the engine and talking about the engine why don't you show the engine!

Music ruined this conversation

Late 70s and my neighbor had one, in green of course. Took me for a ride and nearly made me soul myself at age 15. Never been in one since.

I can’t hear the dialogue because there is imposing music.

The Daimler's hemi sounds wonderful, too.

German Police drove 356 B Super 90 Cabriolets between 1962 and 1965 later the early 911 Targa from 1967 to 1971… but this were no V8 Block… The Normal Police had the Ford 20 M V6 or the Opel Rekord 1900 S or Commodore 2.500S ..

When I was a child there was a diecast of a yellow tiger available must have been 1978 and I didn’t know the Alpine because in Germany they were not so common. I was fascinated what a rocket. We knew the last Spitfire 1300 / 1500 until 1982/3 and sometimes a rubber version of the MGB and my mum once drove an Innocenti Cooper from 76 but that’s it… British Cars were only the Mini 1000 because it was the smallest car in the parking lot, the Smart and alike was not invented…

Oh let the boy pick the engine...

I forgot all about those cars, A friend of mine had one I forgot. That was a good little car. Yeah, it was slow, but it was real good on gas. It was the gas crunch time you couldn't get gasoline. And it never broke down.

The Tiger is such a cool car. A great weekend ride.

Back in the mid 70s my brother-in-law had a Plymouth cricket that was built by sunbeam! Was not a hotrod, but a nice reliable little car. The engine was about the size of Jay's brief case!

Great contect 👍🏾👍🏾

Annoying backround music

Very interesting trailer, what is the release date of the documentary in 2024, and where can it be watched?

Great interview, I always enjoy watching Jay Leno talk about his cars.

Jay Leno you’re the king. I love the chillaxed feel of the video and the cars are absolutely awesome tooz
