1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk IA

This tiger is pretty much stock. Checking all of the numbers reveals that this could be the original 260ci engine that is still in the car.

1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I

This tiger is far from stock no longer has a 260 but a five bolt 289.

The engine seemed to have been starving for air do to a smashed air cleaner. Look for another run of this car to get more accurate results.

The smoke in the video is not coming from the car but from the exhaust melting the rubber mat that was covering the floor.

1969 Austin Healey Sprite Mk IV

This Sprite has an all original engine in need of a rebuild. The oil pressure will not hold up at idle when the engine is hot. Just for fun we put it on the dyno to get an idea of what the average Sprite will lay down.

The results look pretty good for an old stock Sprite that even had the stock air filters on.
