Russell,
If this is true, it must be a "one off" produced by a coachbuilder
and I would dearly love to see a picture of a two door fixed head coupe.
As far as I am aware Rootes only made the Sunbeam Talbot (later only
Sunbeam in 1955(6)) in the two door drophead, 4 door saloon and of course
the "original" alpine.
Regards,
Bob
