I think unlikely to be Clement Talbot as that name was only used for a couple of years very early, pre WW1. |

There needs to be a block decision about these, as Sunbar's just been through them all renaming to Clément-Talbot |

From Wikipedia: "Clément-Talbot was an Anglo-French motor vehicle manufacturer based in Ladbroke Grove, London, that traded from 1902 for approximately one year, whence the cars became known as Talbots". |

I have just renamed them Talbot as the UK company might have been called Clement-Talbot Ltd at one time but that name was never on the cars of the post WW1 era. These were British designed and built. BXH 409 seems to have set a record for the number of movie appearances by one vehicle. -- Last edit: 2014-08-10 01:44:37 |

Clement Talbot was in use in the late 1920s and 1930s and reffered to frequently in Commercial Motor Magazine of the period. "chiefly ambulances and ambulance-buses of Clement Talbot, Crossley and W. and G. du Cros makes." Read more at Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" "Stand 96 AS one of the leading manufacturers of specialized low-loading ambulances, Clement Talbot, Ltd., exhibits two examples of its products. The first is type AY-95, which is powered by a 20.9 h.p. six-cylindered engine and has a synchromesh fourspeed gearbox." Read more at Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" |

BXH 809 is registered just as Talbot on plate check sites. Not a definitive verdict given how these sites get wobbly about strange names (although if it had been registered as Clement-Talbot that would probably be definitive). DVLA details are: Date of Liability 01 06 2015 Date of First Registration 26 01 1935 Year of Manufacture 1935 Cylinder Capacity (cc) Not Available CO₂ Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour WHITE Vehicle Type Approval Not Available |

After reading the text in Commercial Motor Magazine of the period I'm happy to stay with Talbot, for the reason that in the Commercial Motor shows of the time they exibited apparently under the name 'Talbot' but the company name and address was Clement-Talbot Barlby Road, London, W.10, So Talbot is good for me. |

Previous identification from http://www.ambulancepreservation.co.uk/pre1950/bxh809.html appears to be in error AY95 rather than AY35 http://www.talbotportal.com/CarDDetails.aspx?KeyID=26121 Talbot AY 95 Ambulance Year 1936 Registration BXH809 Chassis No. 34537 -- Last edit: 2017-05-31 12:02:12 |
