Oddly paired with Chrysler pentastar badge until 1981, when car gained a facelift with flush headlamps from the Talbot Horizon. Lotus Sunbeam with 2·2-litre four the most collectible. Long life given it was a stopgap, though originally intended replacement never came; Peugeot 104-based Talbot Samba replaced Sunbeam in 1981.
