The Sunbeam-Talbot 2 Litre is an automobile which was manufactured by Sunbeam-Talbot in the United Kingdom[2] from 1939 until 1948.[3] It was offered in 4-light sports saloon, foursome drophead coupé and 4-seater sports tourer body styles[3] as well as a sports 2-seater.[6] Production was suspended due to the Second World War[7] and was resumed in 1945.[8]
The 2 Litre utilised the styling [7] and chassis [3] of the Sunbeam-Talbot Ten with a wheelbase which was 3½ inches longer than the Ten.[7] It was fitted with the 1944cc four cylinder sidevalve engine from the Hillman 14,[3] that unit producing 52 bhp in its original form with improvements after the war increasing the power output to 56 bhp.[3] The 2 Litre was fitted with Lockheed hydraulic brakes.[5]
1,306 examples of the 2 Litre had been produced by 1948,[3] in which year it was replaced by the Sunbeam-Talbot 90.[4]
