if youve had it 4 years and done nothing you obviously arent fussed about it so you might as well sell it to someone that will before it rots away totally and get some cash in your pocket for something you are fussed about.

It only got put of the road as the cossie took over. Now the cossie has been rebuilt it can be put to the side while the Sunbeam gets some tlc.
None of the two will ever be sold

Proper old school cool. N/a cossie lump a car like that simply has to have that bark from the carbs!

Love these motors, used to be a red one hooning round my way when i was at school, i'm reasonably sure i've got a steering wheel that will fit possibly out of an avenger, will get the car to fit it to one day.

I think my uncle will have a load of sunbeam spares. He had one with a skip brown engine in it, was a ace car. Thought your was maybe one of his old ones, the reg looks familiar.

toff im sure he paid a grand for it last year and i think he wants the same back again.but im sure theres lots of bits on it that would sell and you could end up getting the engine for free or thereabouts
im sure the car runs its just been off the road for years.

Oh wow, now that is a rarity and a half. Restored to it's former glory that would be brilliant. Is it actually a Sunbeam Lotus originally, or is it a TI with Lotus paintjob?

My dad used to have a normal Sunbeam, when I crashed my own car I got to drive it about. Brings back all sorts of memories.
