A charming mother and daughter driving off in a Talbot-Darracq is not an everyday picture. The rare motorcar is in Coys auction  'True Greats' next Tuesday, December 4. The 1922 Talbot-Darracq once belonged to Bill Boddy who, as we all know, was the founding editor of Motorsport magazine. It is true that Bill Boddy owned many automobiles in his lifetime, but this Talbot-Darracq has been in his family for more than sixty years! Together with Denis Jenkinson, Bill Boddy has used it in many sporting events. By the time the Talbot-Darracq began to look "rather shabby" it was taken off the road but, starting in 1973, it was over the years restored by Bill Boddy's son-in-law, who now offers it at Coys' auction. Anybody who can date the photo and identify mother and daughter.
