1981 Talbot Sunbeam Lotus U. K Registered Series 2 RHD, Finished in embassy black. These road going Talbot Sunbeam Lotus homologation specials were more than just fast, they certainly looked the part as well. Initially, they were offered only in Embassy Black with Silver stripes and sporting a brace of Marchal spotlights and bespoke double four spoke cast alloy wheels. Launched to an eager public in 1979, the 2174cc twin cam engine, breathing through twin DellOrto carburetors developed 150 BHP and delivered excellent performance. Glowing reports from the motoring press followed, noting the cars razor sharp handling and rapid pace, indeed, even when driven today, the Sunbeam is still considered a truly thrilling drive, set apart from most by its rear wheel drive balance, beautifully weighted controls, and overall lightness. HFT 690W is one of those rare cars.
It appears that this Sunbeam Lotus has had many thousands of pounds lavished on it over the years, keeping it fresh and resulting in a well sorted usable classic car. The odometer currently reads 89, 000 miles. This wonderful and rare Lotus must surely represent great value for money. Now being sold by us ready for the next owner to make there mark on this now very collectable classic which is in good condition inside and out. This car has been loved by its previous owners but could benefit with some light TLC. This car really would suit someone thats looking for a classic that can be enjoyed and driven but improved while being used as previous owners have done.
