The Talbot Sunbeam Lotus is somewhat like the brilliant UFO of the late 70s: a small, very "simple" car at its core, transformed into a real weapon thanks to Lotus, and became... the world champion constructor in rally in 1981.

Our specimen comes from the collection of a particularly meticulous enthusiast, who, for ten years, never ceased to maintain and improve it. This Talbot comes with a complete dossier (53 invoices, 98 pages) as well as all its original on-board literature. The total of the invoices, mainly for parts without labor, is 19,225 euros.

It is ready to hit the road with peace of mind (only the mind) while meeting the expectations of the most discerning enthusiasts. Its perfect chassis, stainless steel exhaust line, suspension, its racing aluminum oil and water radiators, new ignition, limited-slip differential, new tires, etc., all contribute to this. There is absolutely no intervention planned to be done, and at its wheel, your physical condition will be maintained.
