Fifty years ago Lionel Burrell bought his first Vintage Talbot, a 10/23 Doctors Coupe. He bought this one, a 1926 10/23, in August 2009. It was last on the road 10 years ago. Engine was in boxes and needed rebuilding. This done, Lionel had to find a period carburetor fit and make all the controls, rebuild the starter motor, re-wire and restore all the wiring. After fitting a new battery and fuel lines the engine started first time. The front axle was bent and twisted along with a cracked front hub. This was sent to a specialist for repair. All the trim was cracked and torn and sent off to a local trimmer in Essex. Work has now started on the back end of the Talbot, rebuilding the dampers and welding the back wings. All the paint is in a bad way, it is also cracked and some time later the car will have to be painted again.
