Six of these Sunbeam Lotuses went undercover for real — Greater Manchester Police stripped off the Lotus badges, repainted them in plain Talbot colors, and ran them as unmarked pursuit cars against stolen-vehicle crime all through the 1980s.
While rivals were switching to front-wheel drive, the hot Sunbeam Ti kept its rear-wheel-drive layout — and reviewers of the day actually praised it for suiting a performance car better.
Greater Manchester Police once ran a secret squad of Sunbeam Lotuses with the Lotus badges removed, blending into traffic to catch car thieves.
