Here is a picture of my Dad's car which he owned and restored in the early 1950's. I belive it is a Talbot 10 but not sure. If anyone has any knowledge I would love to find out more about it. The car may still exist as Harry was meiculous in what ever he did and roumor has it that the chassis was enamel painted. Although a black & white photo, I am told the car was two tone blue, the lighter shade being a sky blue colour. It is pictured outside Grandmothers house in Broomfield Rd Chadwell Heath Essex.
Sadly it had to be sold to finance my arrival, so I never saw it and this is only known photo. I do not even know registration No. But, if anyone has a Talbot with H langridge as a former owner I would be overjoyed to know.

EDIT: I just noticed you've mentioned you don't know the registration number - so much for my advice then. DUH! Embarassed

(Memo to self - make sure I read the post properly first before answering,)

Aye it looks like a Talbot or Sunbeam Talbot 10, not dissimilar to the one I put on the site the other day:

The one in your photo looks like a proper drophead body, rather than the more basic tourer in the photo link above. The bonnet side vents also differ.

There is a Talbot register so I guess that is worth a go. Good luck
