In 1964, Sunbeam entered the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours race with two specially modified coupe versions of the Sunbeam Tiger, developed by none other than Carroll Shelby. These cars were built to compete at the highest level, with bodywork by Lister, a respected name in motorsport engineering.
However, despite the team's efforts, the cars weren't fully developed in time for the race. Both vehicles struggled with overheating issues and ultimately failed to finish the race. Despite their disappointing performance, these unique Le Mans coupes hold an important place in automotive history.
Remarkably, all three Le Mans coupes—including a prototype—have survived to this day, continuing to captivate enthusiasts and collectors as a testament to Shelby's involvement in the development of high-performance vehicles.
