Fox and Nicholl Team Car
Arguably the most original team car left, PJ7363 was one of a trio that turned in penalty free performances on the 1932
Alpine Trial. Overall winners, the Talbot Team also secured the events first ever 'Coupe des Alpes'.
This car was driven by Norman Garrad in the 1932 Alpine Trial and he later became competition manager for Sunbeam Talbot,
pioneering this type of factory supported team entry.

For Sale
Vauxhall Cavalier Convertable 1800i 1986
Vauxhalls attempt at a convertible led to these cars being built by coachbuilders Hammond and Theide for Vauxhalls and
this car is in very good condition for its age. We have some history with it that backs up the milage which we believe
to be correct at 89,000 miles. The body is in very good order and has been rust treated, mechanicaly it has had a new cambelt
and water pump, driveshaft gaiters, as well as exhaust, tyres and battery.
When purchased the hood was replaced by a Vauxhall convertible specialist, in Mohair, complete with hood bag and
proper headlining along with all the warranty improvements as fitted by Vauxhall so now is weather tight.
The car will be sold with a new M.O.T but is untaxed. £950.00 ono.
1954 Sunbeam Alpine Mark1 £6300
In a recent change of workload the project car is now for sale and is completed as per
photo. With welding to be done and the rest of the car finished including the engine and drive train. It represents
a better prospect than some cars available at around the same price. As this project can only move forward, with a lot of
work already carried out and parts included it is prepared for the next phase. Most other cars will still require this treatment
and be possibly the same underneath the paint. We can of course finish the car for a potential purchaser, partly or
finish the car ready to drive away. Please look on the Project Diary page or contact me for further information.
