Kapunda - week 110

Every Australia Day the Kapunda Chapter of NARC and the Barossa Club and the Gawler Club get together for a picnic and this year was no exception and here's a few cars that caught my eye.
This is not a Sunbeam Talbot but a London Talbot of 1936. For years Brian Cullen had a 1949 or thereabouts Sunbeam Talbot identical to this except for the wire wheels. Apparently Rootes Group took over the English side of the Talbot company in 1936.
This is Fred Chapman's 1929 Graham Paige. He's 74, same as me. Anyway, he acquired this car when he was 16 or 17. He and I were young bucks together in the VSCC in our late teens.
And this clubbie, an ASP, I think and not to be confused with this other yellow SA made clubbie from the same club that used to be a regular at these events.
