	Sunbeam
		Sunbeams maintained their careful, well-engineered designs into the 1930s, a new model being the 2.9-litre Speed model of 1933 (though the Dawn of the following year, with its ohv 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, was hardly in the Coatalen traditions).
		The Sunbeam name did not re-appear in its own right until 1953 with the announcement of the Sunbeam Alpine, a two-seater variant of the Sunbeam Talbot 90.
		"Sunbeam" was used as a model name for the front-engined Chrysler of 1977, a far cry from its Grand Prix ancestry.

		At 2565 pounds the Tiger was 285 pounds heavier than the Alpine IV, and most of that added weight came, not from the Ford engine, but from the chassis-strengthening that Rootes specified to accept the added horsepower and torque.

	Sunbeam Alpine Tiger September 2002 Car Review - CarPoint Australia
		While not as common as some of their contemporaries, Sunbeam's Alpine sports cars can be among the least expensive to purchase and maintain.
		Virtually everything needed to totally recondition the engine and its ancillaries is available locally or through overseas specialists such as the US-based Sunbeam Specialities Inc.

		Be particularly wary of electrical problems in Tigers as these cars with their confined underbonnet workspace are diabolical to work on.
