I share Mick Walsh’s love of Sunbeam Tigers (From the cockpit,April), and enclose picturesofmine.The first waspart-exchanged forthe second, which, while brutal-looking, wasan awesome machine on the road. Goingback to my time as a salesman forMichael Woodingat HurstPark in the late ’60s and early ’70s, I neverhad acompanycar but naturally aspired to own the cars we sold. Aged 20,Iwasthe owner of a lowly 2-litre Mk2 Vitesse drophead, and dead proud as youmight imagine.But in early 1972 Isaw an ad in the Surrey Comet for a white, arrow-straight and original 11,000- mile Sunbeam for around £1100.
