Arrgh!  At first I thought the dead  #6 must have a Ferguson transaxle in it
but that's not it...its a Talbot Lago   .

So, what is it? - both have front disc brakes, both have the number 18 in
their parts lists, both drive well in the rain, both are driven by wealthy
Englishmen?!  ;)

Maybe its too early for me...
