Vehicle Information/Notes
The accompanying photograph taken thirteen years ago was recently discovered by Messrs Clement Talbot Ltd, and is of particular interest today, It depicts Lord Kitchener on one of the earliest 11 HP Talbot cars during a motor tour through his native county of Suffolk, when he was presented with the freedom of Ipswich shortly after his return from South Africa.
Great preparations were made all over the country, and "The Autocar" in its issue of October 1902 records the success of the tour and the vociferouse welcome accorded to Lord Kitchener through the gaily decorated towns and villages he passed. This was probably one of Lord Kitcheners first experiences of motoring and maybe his early impresions of the Talbot car helped in no small measure to influence his encouragement of the motor traction for military purposes.
TATLER September 22 1915
