1950 SUNBEAM-TALBOT '90'
The Sunbeam-Talbot '90' is described as the aristocrat of sports cars. It is a saloon of unusually fine lines and is certainly worthy of the title.
The 1950 model of the '90' has an engine of increased power, while the passenger accommodation has also been improved.
There is a four-seat coups version, illustrated above, with coachwork by the noted firm of Thrupp and Maberly, of Cricklewood.
Colour schemes include satin bronze with red upholstery, silver green with huff, gun finish with grey and black with buff or red.
