Welcome To Rootes One
&
The International Registry Of Sunbeam Tigers

The real Rootes 1 - a small 1900's cycle shop at Hawkhurst in Kent.  Such modest beginnings typified the first blushes of automotive history and from this one, the brothers Rootes fashioned a major British motor manufacturing firm.  At the apex of their fortunes came three short years of Sunbeam Tiger production.  The story of that brief harvest and its many permeation's is the focus of this website - enjoy.

As a part of ongoing exploration, many new discoveries have been added to the Sunbeam Tiger saga.  Here you will find fresh historical perspective, topical technical data and a myriad of offerings covering a broad range of subjects.  I like to think this collection of pages is an unmatched resource of Tiger information and I'm certain there is more to come.  If, through the links below, you don't locate what you're searching for:
