The 14/45 was a completely new model, designed and put into production within 12 months,
it was the sensation of the 1926 Motor Show.
This particular motorcar was delivered new by Talbot agents, Warwick-Wright of Hanwell, to a
local doctor on 27th July 1927. Dr Helen Faraday-Gray kept the car until 1967, covering just
45,000 miles. During World War 2 she was allocated extra petrol to visit patients. Dr Faraday-Gray
was herself disabled and had a hydraulically powered clutch fitted, operated by a switch on the gear lever
'2 pedal operation.

Originally a 2-saet and dickie, this car was bought for Jack Cunliffe as a 21st birthday present.

replacing the original Dunlop type. Jack was a regular visitor to Brooklands with the car.
The body was later changed to open 4 touring because of a growing family.
A full history of the car is known, including all owners, Jack owned the car until 1939.
The car runs well and does have the potential to be quick.
