I can remember these being made in an industrial unit in Catfield near Gt Yarmouth. Every single one was road tested by the chief quality technician Barry Day. They were a very common sight rattling around the local country lanes during the years of production there.

Don’t see to many Talbot Sunbeam Lotus this one has obviously had some TLC over the years, a good car.

Put a Chrysler Sunbeam in your life, remember Petula Clark advertising these cars, she even released the song as a single

My dream motor, once had a go at one, on a X7 Suzuki, and got left in a different postcode 😁

[@dinointhetube]

My 1st car to mine was only a 1.3 but much rear wheel drive action on purpose. Lay rear seats completely flat me and 2 other m8s slept in it.😂

How much did it go for?

[@ellaevansbolt]

That will be an expensive little car. Back in 2016, one of these sold at auction for £35000.
