1964 and 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Sales Brochure Covers Coffee Mug Alpine

Why choose between the two greatest years of Carroll Shelby’s Anglo-American masterpiece when you can have both? This premium garage-themed mug splits the field, featuring the authentic factory sales brochure covers for both the groundbreaking 1964 launch year and the roaring 1965 evolution of the Sunbeam Tiger.

The history wrapped around this mug is the stuff of hot-rod legend. In the early 1960s, Britain’s Rootes Group knew their sleek Sunbeam Alpine was a beautifully handling sports car, but its low-revving, underpowered inline-four engine was getting left in the dust by faster European rivals. Desperate for a massive injection of speed without the staggering cost of developing a brand-new engine from scratch, they paid racing icon Carroll Shelby $10,000 to engineering-prototype a radical fix. Shelby did what he did best: he took a sledgehammer to the firewall and jammed a tight, high-torque 260 cubic-inch Ford small-block V8 right into the lightweight roadster. The resulting 1964 and 1965 Sunbeam Tigers instantly became a direct threat to cars more than twice their price, marrying crisp British cornering with raw, asphalt-shredding American muscle.
