On the 19th November 1980, 40 Years ago, Henri Toivonen and Paul White won the Lombard RAC Rally in the famous Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, KKV 444V. Here at BGMsport, we are all extremely proud to have this car in our care for its owner, Steve Rimmer. This is one great car to have in Steve’s collection and Ian Gwynne along with David Evans of Dirtfish were lucky enough to do some driving in it recently. David published the full story on Dirtfish, please follow the link below to read.
