Since the Sunbeam-Lotus was based on the Talbot Sunbeam which in turn was
based on the Hillman Avenger (Plymouth Cricket). Just find a Plymouth Cricket
and bolt it in!!! The 912 can be tuned to in excess of 200 HP (real SAE HP),
so a Cricket with a Turbo Lotus 912 engine would be a Tiger killer.

look good in it!)

Is anyone on the list familiar with a 70's era car, possibly a Talbot
Sunbeam, that was made with a Lotus engine? I would like to find some
general info about the car, asnd some specific info about the engine.
Any information or leads would be appreciated.
Thanks
