Peter Ransom writes: "I'm researching a 1925 Talbot 18/55 (essentially a rebadged Sunbeam 16/50) located in Western Australia. The car has a saloon body that currently defies all attempts to identify the coachbuilder. Talbot's records show it being sold for export in 1925 as a Darracq-bodied tourer, and I suspect it was rebodied in Australia c.1930-1932. The pictures are a mixture of how I saw it first in 1965 and how it looked when I saw it again a few days ago - in a dark shed. The exterior door handles, the window openings and the windcreen pillars are quite distinctive and may provide the right clues for an expert. The doors are timber framed, so I suspect the whole body will be the same. I'd be delighted to hear from anyone who can help."
