context_page_description: The Sunbeam-Talbot 90 is an automobile which was produced and built by Sunbeam-Talbot from 1948 to 1954 and continued as the Sunbeam Mk III from 1954 to 1957.
  The 90 was launched in 1948 along with the smaller-engined Sunbeam-Talbot 80 but many features dated back to the pre war Sunbeam-Talbot 2 Litre. The body, available as a 4-door 4-light sports saloon or 2-door drophead coupe, appeared completely new though it continued some major pressings. The saloon featured the original Aero-Minx "pillarless" join between the glass on the rear door and the rear quarter window with its distinctive Sunbeam-Talbot reverse slope.
  This car went through three versions before the name was changed to Sunbeam Mk III in 1954.
  The Sunbeam-Talbot 90 MkIIA was the last car to bear the Sunbeam-Talbot name.
context_section_description: The Mk IIA had a higher compression engine raising output to 77 bhp (57 kW).  To cater for the higher speeds the car was now capable of, the brakes were enlarged and to improve brake cooling the wheels were pierced.
  The Sunbeam-Talbot MkIIA drophead coupé/convertible is the rarest of the Sunbeam-Talbots.
  The rear wheel spats were no longer fitted.
  10,888 were made.
