Description / Overview:
The Sunbeam-Talbot 90 is one of the great names in British motor sport. In 1952, the year this car was built, a works 90 driven by Stirling Moss finished second overall at the Monte Carlo Rally. The Drophead Coupe variant was produced in significantly smaller numbers than the saloon, which makes any surviving example worth paying attention to. This one wears its champagne metallic paint well, the body panels are straight, and the chrome is presentable. The rear wheel spats are intact, which alone marks this out from many other survivors where they are often missing or damaged.
The car presents as an honest, gently used classic that has been owned and documented by enthusiasts. The Oldtimer Australia branded bag in the boot and the reference in the listing to an Oldtimer Australia history page confirm a respected provenance trail. The front seats carry cracked leather that will need attention, the Excelsior crossply tyres are aged and should be replaced before any road use, and the soft top condition when erected has not been documented in the supplied photos. An original Rootes Group Workshop Manual (W.S.M. 110, covering Talbot 90 Mk II and IIA) is included, which is a genuinely valuable item. Vendor advises extensive history documentation is included with the car.
