Not for UK though 😢

[@brandonpourmorady9485]

Amazing just signed up!

[@Mr05Chuck]

He was a very generous guy. He could have held you up for the Book of Norman.💪 He deserved the meal!

[@TaterRogers]

I'm enjoying my factor meals! That was a great suggestion! :) So far I love the taco bowl and the tomato basil chicken. The sour cream chicken and chives is amazing! OOOOOh DATS GOOD!

[@michaeljames5708]

I called your place Dennis I have a 54 Sunbeam Alpine Mark 1..... Much more rare than that car you're looking at right there.... And I talked to a lady was supposed to tell you about the car and never got a call back from you guys... A 1954 zombie map on just went through the auction at Mecum for 176,000...........

[@LAP1050]

To me the best part of this video is listening to this gentleman talk about his cars and the stories behind them. Even though he got what he was asking for the cars, it must have been hard for him to see them go 😢 Dennis THANKS FOR SHARING 👍🇺🇸

[@iswhatitis2744]

The gentleman that is selling this car has got a great pace about himself. The fact that he remembers the names of all the people involved shows great humanity / respect

[@slim_gs3005]

100% the kind of person that would be the best to buy a car from. He knoelws every little detail of the car and its history plus you can tell he took very good care of it and would most likely help if you needed to source a rare part or needed any info about anything

[@donalmilmo-penny3085]

An impressive guy and came across really well

Cold night in the UK, PJ's on, candles on, vodka poured, now im ready for coffee walk....OUTSTANDING. ❤

[@rangerlongshot]

In Northern California in the 60's and 70's the 'Shelby ' club was actually the Shelby-Cobra-Tiger Owners Club and all Tiger owners were as accepted as the owners of rare Cobras. The long time president was Gordon Gimbel whose daily driver was one of the 20 or so slab side 289 Cobras built with a C4 automatic. I got to ride in it a few times!

[@UberPilot]

I remember those days. I was the kid with the brown Mk1a.

[@thomasbrandon5111]

I never stop to think how rare Tigers are since they were a production car. I never got to own one but was able to run solo events in one owned by a friend during the 1965 season. Great find thanks for sharing Dennis

[@68houdini30]

Another great episode!! Zach is the incredible on editing. Flashlight party mob at 1:59!!! Gotta love it!!! Way to go Coffee Walk team.

[@quig89GMC]

Boom!! My mind is blown by this episode. As a 15-year-old my friends older brother worked at an exotic car shop, and I had the wonderful experience of riding in a Sunbeam Tiger that he drove. I also rode in a Lotus Europa as we raced up an interstate against a Jaguar. Bret is an amazing caretaker of the Tigers and as always Dennis is the consummate gentleman. What a great episode, keep up the amazing work.

[@no_more_naps_7606]

Amazing to see Dennis still hasn't lost that quest for knowledge, and enthusiasm to pass on,outstanding.

[@bryanrackard9268]

Nice to see that man was happy to hand these beautiful cars over to you Dennis. Says a lot about your character and I could tell he feels good about it and knows you will do these works of art justice .....I always enjoy watching ! Cheers!

[@tomrowe7534]

Another stellar episode. The amount of info you cram in less than an hour is outstanding. Thanks Team Collins

[@peterscandlyn]

Jeepers Dennis you knocked it out of the park with this one. Speechless. What a massive coup and well deserved. Kudos!

[@marty0715yt]

Well---I concede. The red is fabulous and the white is just outofthisworld.

[@gekinking6410]

Holy cow what a great show this week! Beautiful cars, nice area, stunning weather,very tasty food and awesome people...thanks guys! As always greetings from the...Netherlands ! 🇳🇱😉🇳🇱👍🇳🇱

[@bill1806]

I know it was bought and paid for, but when you kicked the car instead of the tyre, I chuckled. 😅

[@DIARRHEA-PANIC]

If you have to try to look cool, it's probably not going to work out well.

[@MrBootre1989]

sure left a ding too....

[@jesse-jy7kg]

I saw that 😂

[@Bobwa2008]

Me saw it as well 😂

[@southernboi21]

Gahhh I saw the scuff close up as it went by lol

[@truthseeker111]

I’m sure the guy was like “stop kicking my child”!!! Dennis left a nice mark on the front quarter 😱

[@keithlempka2593]

I thought he hit that fender and was looking for damage, hopefully nothing to bad

[@danielking1850]

I noticed that too...

[@terrymurphy2637]

Great video as usual Dennis. I had an early Robin's Egg Blue Tiger Mk1 @46000 miles without the burled walnut dashboard & was told it was one of the 1st 100 cars. Bought it From a Ford Dealer in Toronto in 1970 for asking price of $495 with a crushed 1/4 panel & it was running on 7 Cylinders. We removed the plate in the floor & removed the offending original Autolite spark plug & it ran great. Fixed the 1/4 & repainted it Mustang Grabber Blue for $100. Sold it in the fall for $1100 & thought I made a great deal but of course I should have kept it 😱!

[@frozenice61]

we all had a weapon car that we should have kept ,some people probably had many but at least you had it

[@terrymurphy2637]

Had a 67 Aston DB6 Vantage LHD & Factory A/C too that I sold for $11000 in 1977 which is even more painful to remember.@@frozenice61

[@mavericknonconformist69721]

Not only do we see rescues of classics, great tunes.

[@waynedentith8557]

That was a good one! I’d never heard of Dennis Collins until about 6 months ago and I’m slightly older than him so probably should have, lovely guy. Watched every episode of coffee walk now. Never really had any interest in Muscle cars either but I need one in my life now.. I’m converted! The Holy Cow burgers look awesome. You need a DC Holy Grail burger recipe 👍

[@jeffdickens7019]

Dennis you always find the holy Grail cars and you are always good about feeding the homeowners and the people that works for you you always go for it when you give back take care

[@GSXR750ization]

Always watching Dennis completely nerding out of vehicle numbers and stuff is always fun. That Marty guy is a true master mind. Everyone with everything from priceless vehicles to every small hobbyist are convinced you need one. The f100 purchased for the farm with am radio probably has a Marty report now when people try to sell it. Lol. But the Malibu Most Wanted reference??? Truly priceless. Lol . Great video! " KING KONG AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON ME!!"

[@mdf1951]

My neighbor had a Sunbeam who lived across the street from me. I was 16 or so when I first saw it, so you can imagine how I was thinking at that age. Small car with a V8, awesome.

[@kookimar]

Guys like Dennis Collin’s are the reason gas cars will never fade out… while some electric cars are cool, gas will always be #1 in my books. Don’t destroy them restore them!! 🙏🏽

[@kevbev1524]

The love that guy has for that cari is overwhelming and an inspiration,

[@Combat556]

Back in 1965 I worked for John Rose Imports in San Diego, and we were a Sunbeam dealer. As the Sunbeam Tigers would come in to the Port Terminal warehouse in Long Beach, Mr. Rose would send a carload of employees up there to drive the cars back. Lots of fun as I got to drive back a brand new Sunbeam tiger. Cool car!

[@Lane-jq3ed]

😲 never disappointing. wow! Very fortunate to be around all these amazing cars and Jeeps

[@markcollins457]

The Sunbeam Tiger was such an awesome little car. I'm glad to see it on your show it found a perfect home. The Tiger is one of the "Powerd by Ford" unsung hero's.

[@kennethchapman9564]

A dear friend of my late father really like the british sports cars. He owned quite a few, a MGA, MGB, several triumphs and a British racing green sunbeam tiger, ford small block powered of course. My Dad was like a father to him and he had just got it in 68 i believe and he had just gotten engaged and wanted Dad to meet his fiance and see and go for a ride in his sunbeam. Dad said it was "quick". My 65 "k" code Ford Fairlane sports coupe had a Borg Warner T10. It was spinning the driveshaft to 9" with 5:13 gears. Wouldn't do much past 90, but would get there really quickly. Would pull the front wheels off the ground at the dig. I am always impressed with how Dennis treats everyone with respect and his love for these classic cars is evident and how truly appreciative he is that he is blessed to have owned so many and enjoy them and the new friends he makes along the way.

[@johnlind8653]

Ok that seller was super nice and classy. The Professor was great as always....great combo!

[@armandopatane5343]

Thank you Dennis for having the funds and ability and crew to save these old relics = and give some of us the hopes and dreams of one day being able to own a piece of history = And we all know that you can only save what you can save

[@timkinley1779]

What did he save?

[@markklumpp5571]

Dennis kicks front passenger fender of the red Tiger while loading onto trailer LOL!

[@moyadapne968]

haha. Hope that black mark buffs out.

[@Ray96744]

Dennis, I never thought that I could ever say this, but the gentleman who bought the tiger from is just as nice and generous as you and that is saying something!

[@edpopplewell9838]

I love the little clips you put in there now that makes you smile laugh. Thank you and your family for all the great entertainment that you give us. May also you have my heart through the trials that you've gone through keep up the good work.

[@russelllmetcalf]

Always a pleasure to see your videos every week. Thanks so much.

[@rustyaxelrod]

Nice cars! Back in 1984 I worked in a machine shop in Pascagoula MS. We did a valve grind job one one of these cars and at the time I knew nothing about them but I thought it was a cool “build” not knowing it was a production car. That one was black with oversized tires on it, roll bar I think, shoulder belts and other racer stuff. Very sharp. 👍 at the time I was cranking out seven pairs of cylinder heads a day, doing guides, liners, surfacing, spring measuring/shims etc. I remember that one was a small block but I didn’t look up any numbers. We normally didn’t pull heads in the shop but it was a “special” project for the boss, it belonged to one of his friends.

[@RagdollRacingInc]

Outstanding car what a great caretaker of the Sunbeam cant wait to see them again

[@PaulSmith-ko6vz]

Love watching Dennis literally "kicking the tires". Great find!

[@john-vy1ml]

Hey Dennis, thanks for letting us share in stories like this. You are quickly becoming a legend.

[@audios22]

In 1969 I was stationed in a small town in Germany serving in the Army. Our commanding officer had purchased a Tiger through the Army PX. British racing green with a camel interior. Black top. I believe it was a1967. I loved that car. saved my pennies to do the same in 1969. Never could make it happen before I got out and transferred back the the US. Great Holy grail Dennis.

[@chetlockwood1491]

Back in 67 or 68, I was an impressionable young man, I worked as a dishwasher at the Cristopher Restaurant in Park City, Utah. I lived in a small town about thirty minutes away, as did one of the waiters, I needed a ride home and was able to bum a ride from one of the waiters. I have never been more impressed than by the thirty minute ride from Park City, Utah to Heber City, Utah in a Black Sunbeam Tiger, it left an indelible mark on my heart. I understand the desire to possess one of the beasts, you never really own it, you are simply the next caretaker.

[@johnperun232]

Great 👍Content and attention to detail Have a Great Day 👍 Thanx for sharing your Great Find God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 And The Team

[@gtj811]

A neighbor in the 1980s was a big Sunbeam Alpine fan. He dragged me to a bunch of junk yards that had a few Alpines in the yard(s). I would guess that he had at least 3 or more Alines in states of repair. Also heard that Boston Bruin great , Bobby Orr, had a Sunbeam Tiger that was stolen and never recovered many years back. Thanks for the great content.

[@sickof36]

This is shot and edited like an actual series. I'm amazed

[@alfee9411]

Yeah they do a great job and better as it goes

[@Tallstan]

Brett had some amazing paperwork, I could see Dennis liked to see it. There was a little tease at the end when Dennis was going to give Brett something but it cut away and ended. Keep up the great content.

[@johndavey72]

Supreme Dennis ! This will make no sense to you (or me !) but l've been watching Bobbie Gentry on BBC2 tonight . ( There's more to this lady than Telahachi Bridge What a gifted and beautiful lady ! Your skill in finding these incredible finds is equal to the gift of talent of this great lady .........if only l'd met this lady 50 years ago ......Dennis your passion is palpable .....so is mine , But there's more to life than motor's. And l'll bet you're passion doesn't stop at motors ! 🥰

[@stevenhollingsworth733]

I've said it before I'll say it again Dennis Collins and his team have the best car Channel on the internet.

[@Ron-io3vu]

Much Respect to you Dennis from uk I’m same age as you but your knowledge is mind blowing and to see you are a self made entrepreneur, love your umbellness and being down to earth your a true Gent.

[@RamblinAround]

Man, what a find! The condition of that white car is outstanding. Red car is going to be a blast too! It's always great when you can buy cars from such a knowledgeable and passionate collector.

[@rexjamerson9316]

I'm pretty new to the coffee walk show, but I already love it I love Dennis's passion for vintage and unique vehicles like the Sunbeam Tiger and the Studebaker Avanti. He is a great presenter and makes the cars even more interesting than they already are. Love it.

[@rustyneuron]

The livestream starts in about 10 mins. I just said this in the livestream, Its like a little inauguration for my weekend to get to watch Dennis. Its like I know my Friday will be done soon and then weekend is on! Anyone else feel the same?

[@robertgould3280]

Wow how amazing to find that Norman book after 30 years amazing 😊 Bob

[@ClydeJesza]

I love to have some of those spare parts for my Tiger #86 Forest Green.. Wish I had the production numbers of each color Tiger and where my Tiger came from when it was new. Outstanding Job Dennis Finding Shelby's.. Love watching Coffee Walk...

[@jimmymccormick142]

Great video awesome cars love the Ford stuff and its great history keep up the great work you and your guys and girls do fantastic

[@WilliamMiller-q7c]

When are we going to get a update love to see how they turned out!!!

[@mikeh.753]

Cool car. My uncle had a Sunbeam Alpine back in the 70's and it would corner like it was on rails. Not a V8 like the Tiger but still lots of fun.

[@DonAl9114]

Wonderful find. You must be very happy now. And the previous owner seems to be a very nice gentleman. 😊😊🇩🇪

[@lyleswavel320]

Carrol Shelby's motive was build it light, 2000 pounds and pack it full of horsepower, and if all possible throw a supercharger on it, let's ride fast, like a go cart with 150 horsepower

[@tsmith8567]

I live 20 miles away in Idaho and the only good thing to come from the Calif invasion is sooo many amazing cars are showing up at our car shows now...never seen so many Shelbys in my life!

[@ras6016]

I miss the days when Americans were not so divided. "Califonria invasion" SMH.

[@zapper302]

Had a friend that stuffed a Boss 302 in a Tiger. He got a Lifetime Achievement trophy given by Caroll himself. Kept the trophy at his shop. The seller being from Kent may have heard about the Boss Tiger as we are from Vancouver BC, and he used to go to the all Ford days at the track.

[@teddymartinii1979]

"Would you believe" I kept waiting for a video clip of Maxwell Smart in his red Tiger. Maybe I "Missed it by THIS much." "Sorry about that, Chief."

[@bill1806]

Wow, it's so good to listen to 2 people who know exactly what their talking about. Talented and knowledgeable for sure. 😊

[@jamesshirrell3677]

[@rogerwhittemore9950]

It would be great to have Brett visit Collins Bros. and see the red car in all its glory.

[@chrislambert2889]

[@Ayr76]

Brilliant show again Dennis what a gentleman Brett was

[@monsterbanger2017]

Lov watching thsnd the stories that go at with, it’s incredible

[@Steve.5]

Holy cow! That was outstanding! 😁

[@cadillac208]

Man ! I wish I would have known you were coming to Boise! Cool watching a video and seeing familiar places.

[@daz0705]

Just as the P-51 Mustang benefited and was vastly improved as a result of fitting a British Engine ( or built under license Rolls Royce Merlin ) the A,C Ace ( Cobra ) and the Sunbeam Alpine ( Tiger ) was vastly improved and benefited from an American engine, Just show's how well the U.S.A and the U.K work together when we combine our different qualities

[@barrycuda3769]

Yes ,but the American Packard built Rolls Royce Merlin was better than the British version. And Iv'e often wondered how much better the Allison V12 could have been with a bit more development

[@daz0705]

or the rolls royce griffon v12@@barrycuda3769

[@bubbaluvv]

The first real job i had was a welder in Limerick, Pa. The son of the owner, hard worker not the typical owners kid ended up with 3 1965 Alpine Sunbeams. 2 convertible 1 hard top. Together we took a 5.0 HO out of a notchback Mustang and "placed it in the Alpine". Its the only car that ever scared me. I've never seen or heard of them again, until now. Great video. Fun fact: Toyo proxy tires are no good for that application, we blew off 3 sets without trying

[@johnhallock2713]

Seems like working with dennis would be a good time and one hell of a non stop adventure, just seeing all the extremely rare and badass cars would be so awesome muchless talking with all the knowledgeable owners like mr, brett here hes got so much of it when it comes too these types of things i could talk with them all day long and learn a thing or 2 too boot so a win win in my books no doubt...

[@leonwhildenjr4483]

Hey Dennis, what neat cars those Tigers are Holy wow! Thank you Sir you are a class act. 😎👍🖤⭐️⭐️🕊🦋🕊🌅✌️🥳🇺🇸

[@OldLien1]

such a decent and fair man Mr Collins you deserve every success.

[@chase-1970]

You make the best videos ever and are very enjoyable and nice to watch everytime they come out

[@davidnorth3411]

I use to visit a junkyard near Tomball Texas , the name of it was Booger Reds , his nickname . His yard was full of 60s muscle cars . He had a black Sunbeam onthe yard , it was just a sad walk around , just sitting as it was rotting away. The year was 1995 as I was hunting for parts for a 69 mustang . Luck have it he had the parts I was searching for in the back row . The place is now gone , a baseball field and other developments have since overran the location . I don’t know if someone pulled it out of the yard and saved it for its a rare one to see along heeps of steel .

[@julianrichards2175]

You briefly mentioned the handling characteristics of the Tiger. My father owned a Rootes dealership in a small town about twenty miles from Coventry. It would have been 1965, I was four years old when he came home in a blue Tiger. I remember quite vividly one typical late autumn/fall evening, my father driving quite quickly. It was raining lightly, it was dark and as he came out of a curve the car span two or three times. We didn't hit anything nobody was hurt, my father looked at me and solemnly said, don't tell your mother. The Tiger was sold shortly after that. I kept our secret for over fifty years and told my mother long after my father had passed. She smiled, he had told her.

[@garymansfield259]

Great content. Best car videos on the web, all the best from London UK…

[@johnnycarr9935]

Absolutely a great find. I have been to Nampa for my job. It is a great little town. It is obviously why everyone is moving there. Gong rats Sir on you purchase and the final built on the red car should be awsome.

[@61Slughi]

The owner said he was from Kent, WA. Ok, I'm from Kent. The address on one of the documents says he was only a mile and a half away. I drive through that neighborhood all the time. Too bad these cars weren't in the driveway so I could have something interesting to look at besides all the cookie cutter SUVs.

[@bjs1130]

OUTSTANDING!! AS ALWAYS! THANKS FOR SHARING!

[@scottlange2766]

Absolutely one of my favorite cars. Bucket list item. These were so obtainable years ago as projects. Beautiful

[@jgar9377]

Why? Never understood why anyone ever liked these things. Goofy looking, small, uncomfortable.... nah, never been a fan of them. Driven a number of them and that only made them worse. Many many cars would rather have long before these.

[@michaelward4582]

Great to see such reverence towards those cars. Can't believe the books and history. Another top class episode

[@julianadams3738]

I cannot wait to see the red Tiger put back together. That would be a whole episode in itself. Living in the UK growing up you did not see a Tiger very often compared to the number of Alpines, which were always considered a ' hairdressers car ' !

[@gordocarbo]

Definition of a rollerskate!! Bet that white one was put together proper. If only I could afford to build and find an old Bristol Ace. Good things dreams are for free!

[@kevinwright1551]

Awesome job Dennis for getting the beautiful Sunbeam Tigers. Keep up the great work.

[@keithskelton2287]

outstanding and very informative video I first came across a Sunbeam Tiger on minilite mag wheels in about 1967 at my local Terry Stone garage in Shefield the UK He raced both the Tiger and a Mk1 Lotus Cortina and he tuned my Mk1 MGB 3 bearing crank a factory sprint car with low gear ratios and a low geared diff All cheap as chips then✌

[@erange1892]

Love youre show Dennis

[@cowboy4299]

Funny thing I like to watch your channel just as much for the food now as I do for 13:00 the cars this was a great video

[@calimilk1113]

This was outstanding!!!! One of my favorite! That Holy cow food WOW!!!!!👍

[@DannyMorrison5i8yrd]

That's one car I've never heard of Dennis has a way to find good cars outstanding

[@erics3101]

Oh my God best memories riding with my father in Tigers, tires squealing through mountain roads, and the thing overheating LOL❤

[@patrickulju583]

Most people never see a Tiger in person. To have TWO cream puffs, and one of the is 0001?!?! What a find! Thank you for sharing the info, and what a great find. (The bonus was the 350H). Always loving the content 😊

Does the Maxwell Smart Shoe Telephone come with the Red car ?

[@darelkilcrease3338]

Hello.. Dennis and Crew .! Have a super great day .

[@flyfly2427]

What happened at the end? Dennis said hold that thought I have somthing for you as he walked out of camera frame. The vid was cut short. Thanks ahead of time for answering Dennis you never leave us viewers left clueless!

[@f1kwa399]

I think that was an outtake filmed earlier in the day and Dennis went to get the Holy Grail cup that he presented him with, that’s my guess anyway.

[@jameswiles970]

I can’t believe you got two of them

[@maag529]

dam Dennis . hope that kick only scuffed the fender and no other damage

[@user-A-A-RON]

That red looks really good on that car.

[@evloftis4143]

i cant wait to see the red one all done
