Talbot Sunbeam Lotus


Picture
This Talbot Sunbeam Lotus  arrived as a stripped shell. The plan is to have it acid dipped and assess the work required once it gets back to our workshop. The owner has some interesting plans for it.

February 2014 - Body shell returning from its dip at SPL, not a pretty sight I'm afraid!

This Sunbeam Lotus came to us for the final part of its body shell restoration. New rear panel, front panels, sills, arches etc. It should make a good, strong, straight car when its finished.

This Sunbeam Lotus body shell came to us for a bit of rectification work and some competition biased modifications. It will eventually be a track day spec car with the facility to still use it as a comfortable (ish..) road car.

Autumn 2016 we have started the build; 2.5 Lotus with Jenveys, sequential 'box, big AP brakes, aircraft spec wiring harness, all hidden away to look like a standard road car, should be fun...!

This Sunbeam Lotus body shell arrived fresh from a dip at Enviro-Strip in Tamworth; it will eventually be built up as a circuit orientated car.

This Sunbeam Lotus rally car, came to us for a bit of rectification work on the bodywork and a brief to make the shell weather tight by building up the doors, fitting the glass etc.

Spring 2017
This nice example of a Sunbeam Lotus has been booked in for a few jobs towards the end of the year.

The best laid plans and all that......
Unfortunately we unearthed some proper horrors once the car was stripped back.
It all worked out well in the end though. Thanks for your patience Alan!
