Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport

The Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport represented the finest expression of French grand touring in the immediate post-war era. Its race-proven 4.5-liter inline-six engine with hemispherical combustion chambers produced 170 horsepower, providing genuine 115 mph performance. The stunning bodywork, often by Saoutchik or Figoni et Falaschi, featured dramatic curves and impeccable craftsmanship. These rare automobiles successfully competed at Le Mans while offering owners uncompromising luxury and style.
