This charming car was exported new to Australia as a bare chassis and was bodied by one of the leading car body manufacturers, Walter Whitbourn PTY of Melobourne, with a four seat tourer body which it wears to this day. It was part of a Taylor collection in Melbourne at some point and passed through the hands of Simon Beeston of Brisbane who had it professionally restored, and then it was purchased by Bob Collett of the Queensland Veteran Car Club, and then by RJS Thornton of Sydney. The car was dated by the Veteran Car Club of Australia in 1995.
The car was then repatriated in 1999 by Cyril Hunter of Scunthorpe and given the age-related registration number of SV 7832. It was dated in September of that year by the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain (certificate number 2299).
Several years later in 2011, the Talbot 4CYX was purchased by Peter Thompson of Quainton, Buckinghamshire, who had a new set of wire wheels and hubs made at a total cost of just over £7000 including new 815 x 105 beaded edge tyres. Due to ill health Peter Thompson then sold it onto the current owner. It is now offered for sale because of the advancing age of the owner.
During the current owners tenure the magneto has been completely overhauled by specialists Vintage Magnetos of Bicester Heritage.
The Talbot 4CYX has four-cylinder side valve engine of bore and stroke 80 x 120mm, rated at 12hp it moves the car along with alacrity & is an absolute pleasure to drive. The car benefits from dual ignition by magneto & trembler coil, an electric petrol pump, a cone cluth, four-speed gearbox, rear wheel brakes & C.A.V electric lighting system. The dash board carries a full set of original period instrumentation.

About Talbot
Talbot, a name that resonates with the connoisseurs of automotive history. The tale of Talbot is a tapestry woven with threads of innovation, elegance, and racing pedigree. This marque, with its roots stretching back to the late 19th century, has left an indelible mark on the annals of motoring.Talbot's journey began when Adolphe Clément-Bayard, a French industrialist and cycling enthusiast, acquired the British Darracq company in the early 1900s. This marked the birth of the Clément-Talbot brand, a fusion of French flair and British craftsmanship. The vehicles bore the unmistakable hallmarks of both nations, blending performance with refinement.
In the interwar period, Talbot truly came into its own. It was during this era that the marque produced some of its most exquisite models. The Talbot 105, with its elegant lines and advanced engineering, captured the hearts of discerning motorists. The 105 exemplified the art of pre-war motoring, offering a balanced combination of power and sophistication.
Yet, Talbot's true claim to fame lay in its racing endeavors. The Talbot-Lago Grand Prix cars, with their potent engines and streamlined bodies, were formidable competitors on the European circuits. Talbot-Lago secured victory at prestigious events like the 1949 Le Mans 24 Hours, cementing its place in motorsport history.
After World War II, Talbot ventured into the realm of luxury grand touring cars. The Talbot-Lago T26, in both Record and Grand Sport variants, showcased the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and performance. These magnificent machines featured powerful inline-six engines, sumptuous interiors, and timeless aesthetics.
But as the years rolled on, the winds of change swept through the automotive industry. Financial challenges and shifting market dynamics spelled the end of the road for Talbot. The marque, once a symbol of automotive excellence, eventually faded from the scene.
Today, Talbot's legacy lives on through the admiration of collectors and enthusiasts. The marque's finer models remain coveted treasures, each a testament to an era when elegance and engineering prowess converged. Talbot may be a chapter in the history books, but its story continues to captivate those who appreciate the artistry of motoring.
