Classic Sunbeam Talbot Lotus.

Lotus had already breathed on humdrum saloons with their work on the successful Lotus Cortinas in the 60s so applying their tech know-how to the uninspiring Sunbeam produced a very spirited car. It was fitted with the twin cam Lotus lump and designed with rallying in mind - back when 4wd was still a distant dream and powerful rear drivers were the cars to own. Four large Cibie lamps ensure sufficient lighting at night.

Lotus on display at Tatton Park, Cheshire.

If you have any more info or restoration stories about this particular Lotus, or Lotus in general, I'd really like to feature it on oldclassiccar.

Sunbeam Talbot Lotus that I saw at Tatton in June 05.

I took all these photos at the classic & vintage show held at Tatton Park, in June 2005. The Sunbeam Talbot shown above was one of several hundred vehicles held in the grounds of this National Trust property.

Some vehicles appear at a number of local shows throughout the season, so I've picked my favourite 95 photos from this particular old-car gathering. The other 94 pictures can be found on the main Tatton Park car show page. If I missed your car out, then I apologise! If the Lotus featured here is yours then I hope you're pleased to see it featured here. If there were other Sunbeam Talbots at the show which I've included in this image gallery, the links will be further down this page.
