The vendor has provided the following:

• This exceptional Sunbeam Lotus was 1st registered on 1st Feb 1983
• Owned by me since 1984
• Only 7,800 miles from new. (Although unknown on current engine)
• It has been stored in an insulated garage since 1984, when it was fully wax-oiled, and remains totally rust-free. An exceptional bodyshell.
• It retains its original ​style: Marchal spotlights & covers, front & rear overriders
• The immaculate interior cloth remains unmarked & shows no signs of sagging or stretching
• Unmarked Alloys with new Avon Turbo Speed tyres
• In 1984, a replacement fully reconditioned SKIP BROWN engine was fitted at a cost of £2500 following an engine theft
• The time has come for the car to be used & fully appreciated by a new owner

• An extremely good bodyshell and exceptional interior
• Although some parts on the car are not the original factory-fitted items, the engine, for example, the quality of the bodyshell and interior certainly suggests that the mileage could well be correct. (Please undertake your own enquiries)
• These two areas are crucial, as replication can be both extremely time-consuming and unbelievably expensive... if you can find someone skilled enough to undertake such a task!
• Consequently, we feel that the car's 'USP' revolves around the fantastic shell and interior. This basis is ultra important. Furthermore, we'd like to think that with a workshop recommission you would have a Lotus Sunbeam that drives as one did back in the 1980's.... After all, that's what we're all looking for!
• With a nice engine compartment restoration (A simple and rewarding project), you would certainly have a Sunbeam Lotus to not only be very proud of, but also an enjoyable iconic classiC
