[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] New list member

[Doug Babcock]

Greetings fellow Talbot enthusiasts,

 

I am new to the list and thought I'd quickly introduce myself.  I'm Doug
Babcock, located in Beaverton Oregon - a suburb of Portland.  I recently
purchased a 52 Talbot drop head coupe.  It is a black plate California car,
essentially rust free, that is amazingly complete down to all the original
tools and fender skirts.  It however needs a full restoration, although does
start and drive just well enough to load it onto the trailer.  The car shows
53,xxx miles - which may actually be correct (?), as it has been off the
road for many years.  I am attempting to contact its previous owners at this
time.  

 

I've owned Sunbeam's - later Alpines and Tigers for a number of years and
have always found their corresponding e-mail lists to be very helpful.  I
have joined STAR and been in touch with the club's US rep (Pete Woodall),
who coincidentally lives just north of me in Washington state.  My wife and
I particularly like the classic lines of the Talbots.  Very pretty cars.

 

So don't be surprised when I ask all the typical "newbie" Talbot questions.
Look forward to communicating with all of you further.

 

Doug
