About this car

The Talbot 14/45 was designed and put into production within a year, and made a splash at the 1926 Motor Show. This 1929 car wears a Weymann coupe body with a fitted sunshine roof.

It was supplied new on 27 July 1929 by Warwick-Wright of Hanwell, a Talbot agent, to a local doctor, Helen Faraday-Gray. She kept it until 1967 and covered only about 45,000 miles. She was given extra petrol to visit patients during the Second World War, and as she was disabled the car was fitted with a hydraulically powered clutch operated by a switch on the gear lever.

The car has since been totally restored and is described by the dealer as running well. No mileage or registration is given on the page.
