Hi the TI came in black as there is at least 5 I know in black This was originally a Scottish car and from the history spent its life in Scotland apart from a short stint in midland for 3 years. This car was used as a hill climb vehicle at some point in the past and had been threw a couple of colour changes but the previous owner decided to put it back to road spec and had it resprayed in the original colours Dang, sorry about that. Guess I've been 'had' for all of these years. Great looking car and definitely fun to drive

Had a sunbeam TI years ago loved it. Was fitted with a modified 2L Ford pinto engine, and the guy who put it together blew up the diff.And the only differential he had lying about was from a bace model 1.1L. So it would only do 86mph screaming it's tilts off, but it would get there bloody quick. This one doesn't go much faster as it was a hillclimb vehicle but it gets there real real fast
