1925 Talbot 10/23 Coupe

This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in  June 1986. The Run started from the Exchange Station car park in Manchester and is seen here just after the start turning from Victoria Street onto Chapel Street, the A56, to commence its journey.

It's the 1925 Talbot 10/23 Coupe, also known as a 'Doctor's Coupe', of William Barker and a note about the car in the programme of the event reads as follows:

53     1925 Talbot 10/23 Coupe

          Reg:  XX 2957   4 cylinder    1018cc

          (William Barker, Trawden, Colne)

This is a rare and lovely 'Doctor's Coupe' with a 

nifty overhead valve engine. As the mileage

reading of 22,000 mils since new is believed

to be genuine, it couldn't have belonged to a

particularly busy doctor.
