Read about the Sunbeam Lotus in the latest issue of evo magazine, out 22 May!

The Club

We are the Sunbeam Lotus Owners’ Club, the club that caters exclusively for the Chrysler/Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, the competition version of which won the 1981 World Rally Championship.

Talbot themselves marketed the car as a model in its own right, and we feel that the cars and their owners still deserve to be treated exclusively.

We started life as the Lotus Sunbeam Register in 1983 (part of Club Lotus), gaining full independence in 1991; we have therefore been providing support to Sunbeam Lotus owners for nearly thirty years!

If you own a Sunbeam Lotus, are thinking about buying one, need some stripes or even a full rally decal kit, or are just enthusiastic about the cars or their competition history, join the club and see what we have to offer. Read More
