TEAL OF THE WEEK – No 23
916BVH83
Andrew Noble from the South of France with his delightful Teal Type 35 in Angouleme in September 2012, when he met up with the five-Teal expedition to the Circuit des Remparts and onwards to Spain. At the end of the happy Angouleme get-together, Andrew drove 500km home to near Cannes in the day – an impressive run.
Andrew has long been a classic car enthusiast, and a skilled engineer who has designed and built his own replicas of famous early cars. such as this 1908 Issotta-Francini recreation (below) driven from the South of France to Classic Le Mans, much to the enjoyment of the French public…Andrew drove the Red Racer to the Montlhéry (near Paris) Heritage Festival in June 2012 to take her for a blast round the banked circuit…
Andrew’s sunlit garage also houses a replica 1920s Bentley (below), and his Teal, formerly owned by Peter Neville (thanks for the photos, Peter), once sported unusual front end styling after the a suspension mod was required (also below) .

Current Tealer Andrew Noble hopes to meet up with us later in the year in Britain (and France), and meanwhile enjoys this view of his Teal cockpit in warm French sunlight…
Andrew says he sometimes freezes in the Alpes Maritime and often roasts in the heat of Provence, but his Teal is never less than the centre of attention in Southern France – unsurprisingly.
