1951 SUNBEAM-TALBOT 90 MkII Window Sticker

            Tonight at 07.00 PM my daughter called me with a slightly excited voice. "Dad, you have to come without delay. There's a very cool car here at the car park'. 'Okay okay' I said, 'What is it?' She didn't know. Only that it had old blue plates and that it was a very cool car. She couldn't find any emblems.
Now you have to know that my daughter has developed a very good sense of what makes an old car so special. So I ran immediately to the train station which is only a 3 minutes walk from my home. 
The eventual discovery of this Sunbeam exceeded all my expectations. And of course she didn't know this extremely rare car by name. Besides it's about 5 times her own age :-)
It proved to be a very rare unrestored seventy year old RHD pure British car. I bet this is even a rare appearance in the UK. 

This Sunbeam-Talbot 90 Series was launched in July 1948. It had its technical origin in the pre-war Sunbeam-Talbot 2 Litre.  The bodywork was based on the late 1930s Hillman.
This 90 saloon and the derived convertible had a good rallye reputation.
The 90 Saloon continued as Sunbeam MkIII in 1954 till 1957 (the addition 'Talbot' was dropped).
Confusingly the Dutch official motorcar registration authorities RDW consider this car as a Hatchback with a Diesel engine. As far as I know this combination never has existed.
Private import.

The sticker is a 2020 Czech motorway vignet.
