THE uncaging of a Tiger

[markson]

Hi all
As the info on the Markson is slowly but surely grinding along, it gives me a little spare time, to start a new thread, on the recrudesce of a Sunbeam Tiger race car, that is about to be brought back to life.and a little of my history of Sunbeams and my involement with them in general in NZ over the last 45 years.

Markson, I had a look over a mk2 tiger body shell today at a mates workshop. Not the one your involved with , is it?
Same owner for over 30yrs, Classic raced in the eighties. Boss 302 powered after the 289 died. Owner has a container business. Nice car and owner.

Cheers Colin.

Hi Colin
Thanks for you post
Yes I do know of the car, its owner is Alan M ??? although I have not seen it for many years
It is or was, a left hand drive car and was once owned by a Ronnie Condon who passed away a few years ago. Markson

[Tedz]

Yes, that's him. It's good to keep track on these classics and you be pleased to know its getting the resto it deserves.

Cheers.

I have lots of memories of that car in the hands of Ronnie . Markson
