1:43 scale Sunbeam Lotus models have been produced by several manufacturers over the years. Most recently, IXO have made several versions, most of which have been on general sale for about £24 but some have been part of collectors' magazine series (such as Altaya/deAgostini). Below is an example. SLOC is an official retailer of IXO Sunbeam Lotus models and have supplied our members with all of the available models so far.We also helped IXO to correct many detail errors that were present in their first Sunbeam model, the Altaya Brazil car.

2010-released models have so far taken a different slant in that road cars are now being produced. Starting with IXO, two versions have been made - CLC207 is a black/silver series 1 and CLC208 is a blue/black series 2 version. Both cars come in left-hand drive with French registrations, although the latter was only ever sold in the UK with right-hand drive! Read our review of both.

Hot on the heels of the IXO models, Corgi Vanguards have released a black/silver series 2 version in UK trim.
