Talbot Sunbeam Lotus (1979)
Ah, the Sunbeam Lotus, the Robocop of rallying.
Lotus got themselves a basic shell from the GLS Talbot, fitted wit with a massive 2.2 litre 16v engine and a ZF gearbox, tweaked the suspension a bit, and then handed the result to Chrysler.
The result was quite impressive, it even managed to win the 1980 RAC Rally, all to himself.
