Was just a guess mate, maybe there was a variation of the Austin - don't know. Will have a look shortly.

Sunbeam Talbot 90 Mk1 or Mk2 Coupé Convertible

Note headlamp "eyebrows", bonnet emblem and badge/words on the wing

Lower is the Sunbeam Talbot with filler cap in the right place

It looks like someone has fitted a Jaguar mascot to the bonnet and a badge next to the "Sunbeam Talbot 90" script.

[Upatdawn]

a "Talbot" is a breed of dog, maybe its supposed to be that

Looks more like the Ford Greyhound hood mascot to me....

Good call!

lol

If you owned a Sunbeam i doubt youd put the Jaguar on the bonnet really

[rolymo]

Upatdawn :- I would not be too sure about putting a Jaguar mascot up there on the bonnet they were a very popular ornament in those days and I actually installed a Jaguar 3.4 Mk2 6cyl engine & o/drive tranny in one of those Talbots for a customer back in 1965. My brother in law swore that he drove it at 125mph on the M5 (of course you could then quite legally) He was a bit of a lead-foot in those days but there were much fewer vehicles to contend with.

It still looks like a Jaguar mascot to me - from the angular shape of the waist and legs - rather than the Ford greyhound.
