Lovely, but even the starting price is too much for a car with very limited appeal. The beauty of rare cars is they come at bargain prices! _________________ in the garage: 1938 Talbot Ten Airline

when you have seen them a few times before, you also have to ask is it now a scam advert.
Has it got fresh photos which haven't been seen before, they would indicate it is genuine.
All the same photos tends to make me think scam. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

It's the same person that has advertised it before...I think it's quite a lower price than it was before so maybe it just didn't sell? _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Looks like it may, originally, have been green.
If I was the seller - and considering it is incomplete - I would be happy with anything over 1K. |

When restored I think this would make a superb looking prewar motor. I like the sleek body lines and the sporty look on a small car.
But...it would take an awful lot to restore this car properly. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Well, I think it's got some style. Quite pleasing to the eye. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Pre war (and probably pre 60's) prices have declined quite a lot over the last year or so.
One would need deep pockets to restore this one, and it would have to be for love not money! |

Like I said I recall it being for sale before, I can't quite remember what they wanted for it but am pretty sure it was more than its on for now. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

That's about where I was, price wise when I saw it. _________________ "Once bread becomes toast, it can never go back! |
