  • Shelby Prototype Sunbeam Tiger
    Shelby Prototype Sunbeam Tiger Shelby Prototype Sunbeam Tiger, at the National Auto Museum, 2012. This document is to provide an overview of the Shelby American built, “Prototype” Sunbeam Tiger. Within the document, for clarity and accuracy, this car may be simply referred to as the “Shelby Prototype Tiger.” Though there is a good amount of detail within this piece, it is only a brief synopsis of what has been collected by the past owners of this vehicle. Past owners, period and marque experts have assisted in an effort to provide the most accurate informational document. There is additional documentation and memorabilia that goes with this vehicle, but not all of it will fit into a single, somewhat concise document. Original Idea and Construction at Shelby American The early 1960s had shown that the Sunbeam Alpines had been enjoying reasonable success in the US, both as a competent production sports car, but also in competition against various other small bore adversaries in SCCA road racing. Rootes Group (Sunbeam’s parent company) West Coast Sales Manager received a bit of feedback from Jack Brabham, after a race and win in a Sunbeam Alpine, to suggest a more powerful engine in the Alpine chassis. Garrad garnered sufficient interest from a few executives at Rootes Group (though not Lord Rootes himself), and approached Shelby about building a prototype. Originally constructed in the Shelby American shop on Princeton Drive in Venice, in early 1963, this car became the model example that more than 7,000 production Sunbeam Tigers followed. The Princeton Drive location is where the Shelby Cobras, the Shelby Racing Cobras and first 20-odd GT350’s were built, before Shelby moved to the larger warehouse at Los Angeles Intl.

  • 2008 Dodge Avenger Product Heritage
    Contact: Brandt Rosenbusch 2008 Dodge Avenger Product Heritage The First Avenger Plans for the first car to carry the Avenger name were initiated by the Rootes Group (later to become Chrysler Europe) in England in 1963. Intended to replace Rootes’ best-selling vehicle of the time, the Hillman Minx, the project was delayed by funding issues; another car, the Arrow, would become the replacement for the Minx. Still, Rootes executives saw the need for a smaller car, and consideration of what they would call the “B-Car” began in earnest in November 1965. It would prove to be the first and last car developed by Rootes, following its 1967 takeover by Chrysler Corporation. Said to have drawn its inspiration from Detroit, the new car featured a readily identifiable “semi-fastback” design that would become its trademark. Much consideration was given to the needs of female customers; fashion consultants were employed during the design phase. The Hillman Avenger would feature a four-link rear suspension in place of traditional leaf springs, standard front anti-roll bars and a selection of four inline-four cylinder engines. The Hillman Avenger was introduced in February 1970 to popular acclaim. This B-class vehicle, built in sedan and wagon versions to compete with the Austin 1300, Ford Escort, Vauxhall Viva and other small cars, was designed to be the basic no-frills Hillman, with a four-speed manual gearbox an all-iron overhead valve engine. Four-door saloons were built first, followed by two-door saloons and five-door “estate” models. Many variations of the basic Avenger appeared over the years.

  • The Oily Rag the Newsletter of the Vintage Sports Car Club of Calgary
    Fall 2020 the Oily Rag The Newsletter of the Vintage Sports Car Club of Calgary 1 Editor’s Comments I must apologize for the lateness of this issue. As I have mentioned in the last issue, my Jaguar has been out of service as it receives repairs and the replacement of the entire exhaust system due to the damage caused when I ran over a starter or al- ternator that had fallen off the truck ahead of me. I therefore I haven't been able to participate in the club drives which have taken place over the summer. As the Oily Rag is the club’s newsletter, I have put off issuing this issue as I have not received any re- ports as to how these events have transpired and therefore one of the main rea- sons of the newsletter existence was missing. I must admit to calling for more participation should have occurred several weeks ago and I was remiss in do- ing so. Recently I put out a plea to the Club’s Executive to please submit some photos and possibly a short article to describe the latest Club outing which was a re- peat of our annual Fall’s Colour tour. I was very pleased to receive several photos from Keith Wilford, Sterling Rempel and Chris Gorrie who not only sent in several photos but also authored an article that is enclosed in this issue! Hopefully the wonderful fall weather that has been the norm in September will continue through October which will allow me to reclaim my Jaguar and enjoy driving this amazing car until at least Halloween! It is my fervent wish that you and your family and co-workers are all doing well.
