Sunbeam Talbot 90 1955

Description:

Auctioneer’s notes:

This car has been owned and MAINTAINED by the vendor since 2004 (18 years).  The previous keeper owned her from ’86 – July 2004.  Go back to the original buff log book dated 1955, it shows 2 owners plus Mead Motors Yeovil which was stamped in the buff log book in 1975 when they owned it.  The old V5’s from 1978 -1986 shows 3 owners and add in the vendor and the previous owner, it is quite possible that this 67 year old car had 8 keepers including the vendor.  These good looking cars could have 2-tone paintwork and this one has cream over red plus she has a rev counter.  For the technically minded, the engine is a 4-pot OHV engine of 2267 cc producing 80 BHP. The “Motor Magazine” road tested this model and achieved a top speed of 93.6 MPH.  Only 2250 were made.  This particular car is very solid but does need some restoration.  

NB There is a spare engine complete plus other numerous spares which are free to the purchaser of this car.  The new owner is responsible for collecting it. There is not a lot of paperwork other than the old log books and a few old MOT’s.  The vendor says that mechanically she has never let him down and I think that this car deserves a new home and plenty of TLC.  Do not forget to book your slot and view this sports saloon.
