Chrysler Sunbeam Ti -Moss Green

The 1977 Sunbeam was a re-skin of the two-door Avenger so the running gear from the Avenger Tiger was used to create a rear-wheel-drive hot-hatch with great competition potential, the Ti. Launched in 1979, for a bargain œ4433, it sold well, with 10,113 emerging from Linwood in three years; approximately 10% of Sunbeam production. Fitted with distinctive GKN Kent alloy-wheels, spoilers and twin Weber 40 carburettors (Ti = 'Twin induction') the Ti gave many drivers their start in rallying, including Colin McRae and Richard Burns, so unsurprisingly less than 200 survive. The car modelled has been restored to its original colour, moss green, which was only available in early 1980.
