Sunbeam-Talbot - 101 (38b)

This car was not on my shopping list, but I had to have it. It really is very good indeed. It is a model of the pre-war Sunbeam-Talbot 10hp tourer and I just could not resist it. That 10hp tag means that it has a 1000cc engine, probably not that lively to drive, although I did find one on the internet you can hire self-drive for £150 a day!

The great Book of Dinky has this one released in the UK in only 1940/41 and then re-released for the States in 1945 where it remained available until 1954. This colourway is identified as being released in 1953, right at the end of the run, and presumably it was originally exported to the US. I really have no knowledge of these models so cannot comment.

Just enjoy the pictures
