My father used to have one (well before my time!)

Nice looking, but that's as far as it goes....

There was one of those on 'To Catch a Thief', driven by Grace Kelly...

Seem to remember Stirling doing well in one in the Monte Carlo. They were quite a car in their time, and insurers considered them a "sports car" and loaded the premium.

I think it was called a Sunbeam Alpine, the Talbot name was for saloons.

Definitely named Sunbeam Alpine, and a slow, ponderous thing it was even by the standards of the time.
