This car is believed to have been sold new to Sir Rufus Isaac - The Viceroy of India as a saloon bodied car. It may have been exported to India but it ended up in Vancouver, British Columbia.
By the early 1970s the saloon body had got past a viable restoration and a cabinet maker in Vancouver was employed to create a wood and fabric body in the Talbot Scout style. It is this body that the car currently retains and it is still in remarkably good order.
The car returned to the UK in the early 1990s and lived its life in and around Essex until it was bought by my father in March 2011 and I subsequently inherited the car in 2017.
The car underwent an engine rebuild in the mid 2000s and there is a file full of invoices from Arthur Archer and Ian Polson along with drawings for the body and lots of other information relating to the car - too much to list.
My father ran the car to the Le Mans Classic, attended many VSCC events and I competed with it at the VSCC Measham Rally in 2019. Ian Polson went through the car prior to Measham to ensure it was in good health and it is still 'on the button'. It drives, steers and stops as you expect from a Talbot of this era.
