Descrizione
Please note that since advertising this car I have diagnosed a worn rear lay shaft bearing in the gearbox so I have reduced the price and open to offers. The gears all look to be in good condition.
A very rare and interesting Roesch Talbot with a delightful Doctors coupe cabriolet body of exceptional high quality. Manufactured by Darracq.
An original UK car having returned from Austria and now re united with its original registration number GU 7896 on a V5c
Having been dry stored for several years she still requires the mechanical work mentioned however runs and drives with good oil pressure and compression.
The folding hood is of very high quality and all the interior trim and Dickie seat unmarked leather.
The underside is in lovely condition with a painted chassis and all road springs and running gear excellent as the car was fully restored some years ago.
Talbots are cars of exceptional high quality and well ahead of their time especially the overhead valve engine designed by their brilliant engineer Georges Roesch.
The engine runs well apart from noisy tappets.
Also it has a gate change four speed gearbox and front wheel brakes.
I am very much an enthusiast and only selling due to having too many projects and vehicles or so my wife says.
Always happy to chat with fellow enthusiasts and I can give an honest and detailed description of the car in general.
Talbots are well supported by two excellent clubs, The STD Sunbeam Talbot Darracq register and the Talbot club.
Also specialist restorers like Ian Polson (See June 2023 Autombile magazine.)
There is a large history file with road tests and original owners handbook.
I am retired so available during the day and evening so do call me if you wish to discuss and enthusiasts are welcome to view with no pressure to purchase.
Transport at a reasonable cost can also be arranged.
A very rare car of exceptional quality
