Man, 94, finds father's beloved classic car on auction site
By Justin Dealey & Neve Gordon-FarleighBBC News in Hertfordshire
A man who discovered his father's beloved classic car on an auction website has completed its restoration after three years of graft.
Malcolm Stern , from Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, chanced on The 1930S Talbot Barracq while trying to recreate a 3D model.
He Said he couldn't believe it was the very car his father owned, although it had become a " right wreck".
The 94-year-old said taking it to The Road again was " terrifying".
" Many people get old cars but this one is different, because it was My Father 's car, it makes it a little bit special, " He Said .
Mr Stern bought a 3D printer before lockdown and wanted to make a model of The Bright yellow classic car his father owned when he was Growing Up .
When looking for reference pictures on The Internet , he found the actual car his father owned being sold at auction.
He Said his father acquired The Car in 1935, adding: " He drove that car to work everyday, and he took us on picnics.
" For sentimental reasons I thought I would buy it. . Then we brought The Car home, and that was in September 2020 and I've been working on The Car three years since, " He Said .
" The original engine was smashed up in a Rally . . I reckon that The Renovators did about 2,000 hours work and I reckon I did about 1,000. "
Mr Stern now hopes to spend another six months renovating The Interior , saying The Restoration project had been " difficult" and " expensive".
He Said : " I'm still very excited, very surprised that I'm 94, able to be here and do this and still be fit enough to go out in The Car for a ride. "
" I think My Father would be very proud, he'd be very excited as well, " He Said .
