[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] New list member

[DIn1022099 at aol.com]

Hello Doug,
 
   Don here in Northern California. As a STAR member and Sunbeam  Talbot 
owner-welcome. I have attached photo of a DHC I think you purchased. I  did look 
at this vehicle when Mike owned it in Santa Rosa. You got a good car  (no rust 
and complete).
 
  I have owned Sunbeam's since my first car in 1961. My current  1951 DHC was 
cosmetically restored in Spokane 8 years ago. They are unique cars  and 
fun-you get lots of questions and stares. The Sunbeam owners group indeed  has much 
knowledge of these cars and very willing to help. I have some spares in  my 
inventory and some knowledge. Welcome again and is this the car in the  
attached?

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
