1964 Sunbeam Tiger 260 MKI Cabriolet Open Red in 1:18 scale
This is the 1964 Sunbeam Tiger 260 MKI Cabriolet Open Red in 1:18 scale by Cult.
The 1964 Sunbeam Tiger 260 MKI Cabriolet is a compact British sports car with American muscle under the hood, setting it apart in the roadster market. Originally based on the Sunbeam Alpine, it was transformed by adding a 260-cubic-inch Ford V8 engine, which delivered around 164 horsepower—a significant boost over similar-sized British cars. This blend of British design and American power gave it rapid acceleration and handling that was rare for its class. Designed with input from racing legend Carroll Shelby, the Tiger offered a thrilling driving experience and became a competitor to Shelby’s own AC Cobra, yet at a fraction of the price. This unique Anglo-American collaboration and its raw power in a lightweight roadster package make the Sunbeam Tiger an iconic classic among 1960s sports cars.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
