Vehicle Information/Notes
Talbot with a customised roadster utility body built as Commissioner's inspection car for the proposed Queensland Transcontinental Railway. The front mudguards are high mounted high to give ample clearance to prevent the buildup of mud, note also the shovel for digging out. The other accessories fitted are typical of the period. No Queensland Transcontinental Railway ever eventuated; at different times one was proposed from Dalby via Roma to the Gulf of Carpentaria and another from Brisbane to Adelaide. The Talbot motor car was known at the time for outstanding reliability. The vehicle is parked outside the Metropolitan Buildings, 85 Adelaide St., Brisbane.
