While both of these cars and their creators are hard not to appreciate, the Spencer/Adams team has become legendary as the most successful Sunbeam Tiger competition pairing in US history. Even today, most stateside Tiger owners consider the #55 race car the ultimate competition achievement. Doane Spencer's genius for tinkering transformed a run-of-the-mill B9470048 into a "let the force be with you" cat attack. Nothing escaped the Spencer treatment, not even the color scheme. Black on the outside, contrasted against a red under-skin, guaranteed an appropriate visual message to accompany his awesome performance package. More than a few contemporary owners are pursuing replication of Doane's modifications and who could blame them. If you want to run with the big boys, you could do worse than follow the footsteps of past success. |
