SUMMARY
A legendary British-built, race/rally-inspired hot hatch with a raucous personality.
DESCRIPTION
- Finished in Moonstone Blue with a black leather interior. Roll cage, bucket seats and Cobra full harnesses
- Powered by a Skip Brown-enhanced 2,172cc Twin-Cam believed to now produce in the region of 210bhp
- A superb exterior topped off by a quartet of Cibie spotlights and detailed engine bay point towards considerate ownership over the years
- As you would expect, the braking system has been upgraded and a limited-slip differential now assists power delivery
- Accompanied by a history file containing various invoices, previous MOT Certificates and original sales paraphernalia
- Currently fitted with a set of Minilite-style alloys but is offered with the original set of factory wheels, recently refurbished
- Links to a Classic World independent road test and videos are available upon request
- Only 1,184 examples of the Sunbeam-Lotus were ever built with around half of these in right-hand drive, however today you'd be lucky to find 80 of these special cars according to the Owners' Club
