We are not here to kill everybody who rebodies his car. Especially when the former body is in very poor condition. Yes in a previous life this 1936 Talbot 105 Aero Coupe (H&H, Imperial War Museum, April 17) was a sports saloon. In this case one that popped up from a barn nearly 20 years ago. We do not know what may have been the inspiration to build this aero coupe, but it may have been the early history of the car that was first delivered to an aercraft repair firm: David Rosenfield Ltd of Barton. Rebuilding the car in this way was most certainly no easy way out, but creating a dream car based on the highly attractive base of a Talbot 105. So it may not be suitable for the purists, but is a wonderful creation. Personally we would have opted for a smaller rear window more in the style of the mid thirties, but it is clear that the owner who had this body commissioned had a regualr use in mind. Yet if you prefer true salooning, H&H has ample choice in tomorrow's sale. A 1931 Rover 10/25, a very nice 1935 Bentley 3.5 litre Sports Saloon, a large 1933 Lagonda 16/80 Saloon, and an even larger 1939 Lagonda LG6 Touring Limousine. To all saloonists out there, keep an eye on the banner on the left of the homepage. Things are happening!
