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 1929. 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.
The car has been totally restored and runs beautifully.
A sunshine roof is fitted.
On the button and ready to enjoy.
A really super early Citroen B2, 40 years with last owner, well used and

Originally a 2-saet and dickie, this car was bought for Jack Cunliffe as a 21st birthday present.
As a sports 14/40 it already had a good performance and was enhanced over a number of years with
twin SU's, 20hp gearbox & V radiator, enlarged exhaust manifold, finned brake drums and Rudge hubs
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.
A full set of wings will go with the car.
