Supplied new by the leading London, Talbot dealer of the day Pass and Joyce. The new range of Roesch Talbots were launched at the 1934 Olympia Motor Show, the new Talbot BA 110 was designated so because of Roesch theoretical calculation that the car could achieve 110mph, in addition to its newly developed engine the Ba 110 had a new lower under slung chassis with a softer suspension together with a new level of equipment and performance. Production was however limited following the Rootes Groups takeover of Talbot the following year. After a production of only 41, mainly saloons.
At launch ten cars were ordered by Pass and Joyce to be bodied with unique Drop Head Coupe coachwork with disappearing windows and concealed hood by coach builder James Young. The car was restored throughout the 1970's and 80's. The car has a top speed of around 100mph, it has a pre-selector gearbox. First registered 1st July 1935 it has its original James Young coachwork and fittings as commissioned by Pass and Joyce.
