My apologies for addressing a non Alpine question to the list.

My local paper had an ad for an upcoming action. It included an 'early
50's Sunbeam Talbot convertible'. It has a rather grainy picture of car
which reminds me a bit of a Hillman Minx. I'm thinking of going &
possibly buying it as anything Rootes interests me a bit, but while I've
heard of the Talbot I know nothing about them. I've tried to find a
site on the net which describes them but had no luck. Can anybody out
there refer me to a Talbot site or give me a bit of info? I'd really
appreciate it.

Info I'd really like is:

- Parts availability
- History
- Anything else you can think of

Thanks in advance.
