Reportedly first registered in London as ‘GU 7896’ on 29th April 1929, this rare, surviving Doctor’s Coupe is further understood to have had its engine overhauled by F.G. Wade-Palmer’s Jack O’ Lantern garage near Romsey, Hampshire during the 1960s. Belonging to Londoner Ryan Faulkner when Hans Otto Geigenberger purchased it in 1968, the Talbot relocated to Munich, Germany. Seemingly used for various events on the Continent – a surviving period photos shows it on the Allgemeiner Schnauferl Club’s Rally Antika – the Two-Seater with Dickey was bought by Rolf Ottman of the Hotel Alpinum, Mittleberg in 1972 and Gerhard Werner of Graz, Austria some seventeen years later. Entering the current family ownership during 2014, the Doctor’s Coupe has yet to be re-registered in the UK. Dry stored for the last several years, the Talbot will require recommissioning prior to road use. Accompanying paperwork includes an original 14/45 handbook, expired German and Austrian registration documents and assorted STD Register literature.
