Talbot, 1930's
1935 Talbot T120 4 door Saloon, probably a 3.5L OHV straight six engine. Talbot- Darraq was formed by the merger of two very early Anglo-French car makers, and they had factories in both Suresnes, near Paris, and London. They took over the ailing Sunbeam Motors of Wolverhampton, England, in 1920, forming Sunbeam-Talbot-Darraq. The Darraq name was gradually dropped, and Sunbeam Talbot was eventually taken over by the Rootes Group of Coventry in 1935.
Fond memories, because for a brief time in the early 1960's, I owned a 1936 3½ litre Talbot BG110, one of the last two ever built. It was assembled at the Rootes factory in Coventry, and fitted with a James Young aluminium drop-head coupe body, identical to that fitted to the 4¼ Litre MX Series Bentley. Those were the Days !!

I started driving when I was seventeen, (well, actually two years before, but only farm vehicles !), and it was a time when everyone wanted a "modern" car, so there were many lovely pre-war cars for sale at low prices, and I had "the run of the sweet shop"! Lagonda, Daimler, Armstong Siddeley, Riley, not to mention my beloved Lancia Aprilia !! And many more !!
Ciao, Mike
