Those of you who used to frequent the old Scale 143 Forum will recall that my main hobby is full-size cars. For the last several years I have been running a 1931 Austin Seven and a 1953 Lancia Appia; although the desire for something different was there, I had almost convinced myself that these two cars would see me out.
But aging joints were making the driving of the Seven less than enjoyable, so that departed the garage about a year ago, and I have tried hard to convince myself that one hobby car was sufficient - I kept looking, but nothing was tempting me to swap the Lancia. But then, just before Christmas, I was made an 'offer that I couldn't refuse' for the Lancia, so I found myself without any hobby car at all.
That state could not be allowed to continue, and so please welcome the latest arrival, a 1938 Talbot Ten Airline coupe:
