The Sunbeam-Talbot 2 Litre was manufactured in the United Kingdom by Sunbeam-Talbot from 1939 until 1948. Its range included a four-headlight sports saloon, a four-seat drophead coupé, and a four-passenger sports tourer configuration, along with a two-seat sports variant. Production was interrupted during the Second World War and recommenced in 1945.
This vehicle was based on the design and chassis of the Sunbeam-Talbot Ten, featuring an extended wheelbase longer by 3½ inches. It was equipped with a 1944cc four-cylinder sidevalve engine derived from the Hillman 14, initially delivering 52 bhp, which was later increased to 56 bhp after the war. The braking system utilized Lockheed hydraulic brakes.
By the year 1948, a total of 1,306 units had been produced before the model was replaced by the Sunbeam-Talbot 90.
