Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the Warwickshire Event Centre on Saturday the 7th of December, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1XN.
Following the acquisition of the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq combine by the Rootes Brothers in 1935, subsequent models were to use Hillman and Humber components
New for 1936, the Talbot Ten was an attractive 10hp model available as a rakish Sports Tourer, with coachwork by Whittingham & Mitchell that inherited the magic body shape of the previous 105
Believed to be one of just ten remaining Sports Tourer models, this example was fully stripped to the last nut and bolt in 2004
Fully restored with an engine rebuild to +20thou with new internals. Professionally repainted, re-cored radiator, retrimmed leather interior. Photo and invoice record on file for these extensive works
Since restoration, the car has been enjoyed by two owners and been very well maintained in that time, covering approximately 10, 000 miles
Recently driven from West Ireland to the UK for the auction without fault or hesitation. Equipped with a Mohair hood, side-screens, hood bag and Tonneau
A beautifully presented VSCC-eligible sports car which is well proven and ready to enjoy
Offered with a large history file containing invoices, photographic restoration record, expired MOTs, technical data, original handbook and spares list
