The stock red 69 in the one add is a really nice clean car. I always wanted one, I'm just about 5 inches too tall for one...

I always wanted a Sunbeam Tiger.  Somehow I ended up in Z world instead....

Have you ever drive one? Antique British handling, steering and brakes with too much power for the aerodynamics. Fun in a way but you have to stay really sharp.

They are beautiful cars though..

 I test drove a Tiger back in the mid seventies. Already had my Z and thought I'd like to own a Tiger too. After taking the owner for a spirited drive up and down Germantown Road and scaring the pi$$ out of the owner, I decided to pass on buying it. The snap over-steer dictated that one could not relax and drive the car at speed. I probably would have bought it if I hadn't had a Z to compare to. The Tiger gave me the impression that neither the car or I would have survived for long.

I know a guy that was one of those original z guys that were on the 240z waiting list back in the day.  After 6 months of waiting, he gave up and bought a Tiger.
