Information
Talbot Lago
T26 Record coupe (Coach Surprofilé), year 1948. Colour dark blue with a
dark red leather interior. This beautiful and scarce Talbot
Lago T26 Record coupe mechanically very good and very original, the
bodywork and the interior were restored recently. The automobile shows
many delightful details and it features an original sliding roof!
Until August 1969 the automobile was owned by the American David M.
Callahan. Callahan had the Talbot Lago extensively serviced and detailed
in the 1960'ies. After the sale in 1969 the Talbot Lago became within
the ownership of a Californian car collector. In the 1980'ies the
automobile was extensively serviced and optically detailed by the
American firm of Hill & Vaughn.
The automobile is currently in The Netherlands. The owner recently had
the bodywork and the interior of this fine T26 Coach Surprofilé
restored. During our test drive we were struck by the delightful driving
experience, the power of the engine and the smooth gear changes of the
advanced pre selector gearbox. The sporty chassis of the Talbot Lago T26 was
one of the favorites of the renown European coachbuilders like Figoni &
Falashi. This factory built T26 Record Coach Surprofilé was one of the
most exclusive automobiles of it's era. These scarce Talbot Lago models
are seldom for sale.
This
classic car was sold to Switzerland
by Smiths-Veglia.
