Welcome to the wonderful world of Sunbeams.Is it the one you were looking at on Ebay?
I think you will want to drive it just about all the time.It will be nice to have one that is ready to eat up the road.It is also inducive to speeding tickets so ease up the foot for the first while.
ENJOY

Howdy all. Well, I've driven the Tiger exactly three times. The first time was after delivery -- I took it around the block a few times, and was quite literally shocked by its power. The car has a LAT-1 package, and it just plain blew me away. The most outrageous machine I've ever driven.
The second time was out to dinner with my girlfriend on Tuesday night. We took the car into downtown Bethesda, and with its all-but-freeflow exhaust, we made a lot of noise, and attracted a lot of attention, including one pedestrian who shouted "oh my G*d, a Tiger!" My girlfriend fell in love the with the car, and proclaimed it her favorite old car in my small collection.
The third time was today -- taking the beast to work. I'm discovering a few kinks (the left rear tire rubs on the wheel arch on big bumps), but otherwise the car continues to produce not only smiles, but maniacal laughter. Best part of the drive was setting off a car alarm on a parked car as I roared past. Mwahahahahahahahaaha!
