TEAL  OF  THE  WEEK  No. 66

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A friend who lives in Alsace in eastern France needed some spares for his Fergus Wren  (photo at the bottom of this section), so he crossed the Rhine near Strasbourg to visit a nearby garage in Seelbach, Germany,   which specialises in restoring, servicing and selling older British sports cars.  And there at the back of the garage, marooned among many fine old MGs,  he spotted this dusty blue sports car.  He knew I had a Teal, so decided to investigate further….

 

 

 

 

79Y B95

 

 

It is a rather fine aluminium boat-tail Teal Type 35, of course, powered by a 6-cylinder Triumph engine, wearing Dutch number plates and fitted with a Bugatti steering wheel… the owner of the garage, Herr Júrgen Deusch,  tells me that it not for sale, but is owned by one of his customers.  It was in for servicing.

 

 

 

 

An attractive cockpit, with rather comfy-looking divided seating – no sliding on the bench here!   Do you recognise this Teal, know who originally owned it and when it left UK?   That Teal badge between the carburettors is rather unusual, isn’t it?   This is only one of  many Teals to be found in The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany;  more are to come in future Teals of the Week.
