Tolman Sunbeam Lotus

[mik]

As a big Lotus Sunny fan - I do like this. (Although I’d never spend that much).

[scotta]

oooh...Checks price...Nope.

I was thinking it'd be a silly price like £80k. But no

That car looks amazing. I guess I'm at that age where it doesn't take much to get the sense of nostalgia going. So I'm in!

*checks price*

Holy fuck.

I thought all of these “recreation” things were £200k+ ? The only new thing here is that it’s not a Porsche I’m not the slightest bit surprised at the price.

[ZedLeg]

I'm never that convinced when they do the high end restomod thing with these types of cars. Mostly because my deluded brain is convinced that I could build something similar

The only exception is that carbon two door Integrale, that is porn.

I'd guess build cost +50% as the price - all that custom work by people who know their shit ain't cheap. Hell, 130bhp/litre ain't cheap by itself.

Does seem like a lot for a Sunbeam but I imagine someone will buy it.

I hate the delta ones probably more than any of the others

The only one with a serious wow factor for me is the 037 recreation, and the stratos they made a few of a while back.

[Jobbo]

Yeah, I’d happily pay £250k for that 037 though it’s entirely new, IIRC, not a restomod or recreation - an homage, perhaps. And I bet it’ll be much more than £250k.

£10k for the Sunbeam pedal box though…

As I understand the article, they've been built at a customer's (or customers') request and the company are nabbing some publicity from them "look what we can build", rather than making them then trying to find buyers. Don't want one with a £10k pedal box, £10k electronics, etc? I'm sure they could accommodate you
