To be honest, I'm no specialist and I have another name. I think it's not the T26, the interior looks different (Google pichtures) and there are some other differences. I saw this car with the name "Talbot 90" at the classic car show in Bremen, Germany. Now I'm not longer sure about the right name and would say, Wilson got it see the complete car, a beauty Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted February 27, 2024 Share #21345 Posted February 27, 2024 As usual open to anyone who wants to post. The Talbot 90 was a pre-war British car, the predecessor of the Talbot 105 and 110 cars and was from the firm that subsequently became Sunbeam Talbot, part of the Rootes Group. Talbot-Lago was a French company owned by anglo-french Anthony Lago, who also owned the British Wilson pre-selector gearbox company and French Cotal Gearboxes (Cotal are Wilson gearboxes but with electrical rather than Bowden cable controls). The British and French companies split off from Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq (S-T-D) after their bankruptcy in 1935. I think the chassis of the pictured car is likely to be the post war 4.5 litre T26 Record. A few post war cars were made using unsold pre-war 3 litre Type 150 chassis but from the body style I would have said this was a later car, not least because of the distance between the steering wheel and the seat. This is very tight in the T150 cars, which makes them quite uncomfortable to drive. This is unfortunate as the rest of the car, the engine, the Wilson or Cotal gearboxes and handling is very good for the period, if with rather heavy steering and some of the most beautiful bodies ever made from the likes of Pourtout, Saoutchik, Figoni and Falaschi and Gangloff were fitted to these cars.

wlaidlaw Posted February 27, 2024 Share #21346 Posted February 27, 2024 Post-War the only other road car chassis made by Talbot-Lago was the Talbot -Lago "Baby" T15, which tended to have much more pedestrian bodywork that the more exotic and far more expensive T26. Talbot Lago like all the great French makes post war, Bugatti, Delage, Delahaye, Hotchkiss and others, were killed off by the basically jealousy driven punitive taxation on larger engined cars. French politics like a lot of French life, tends to be driven by jealousy and envy. The typical Frenchman is jealous of his neighbour's wife, car, job, house and so on. This can often be seen in the great French literature, which often revolves around jealousy. Wilson 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson In my prior job as a business coach for an investment firm I created a number of fake clients in materials I used on the job. One of them was an Emma Bovary , living in Rouen, whose email address was TheMadam@ennui.fr. One of our branch managers (a WestPoint graduate, which means most of his college work was engineering and the military) was not exposed much to literature. He tried to shut down my materials because the obviously fake account numbers was a violation of privacy policy and regulations. I showed him Flaubert's novel, and showed him the clearly fake construction of the account number, and he relented. Clearly he is a dedicated manager, and among the best I've met, even if he doesn't read much fiction. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I tried to read Madame Bovary in French about 5 years ago and gave up after the first 100 pages. Very wordy. Jules Verne or Alexander Dumas in French are more my speed.

Ivan Goriup Posted February 29, 2024 Share #21352 Posted February 29, 2024 Allow me take a crack at the next one, Stuart. Given my dismal record of late, i.,e. almost every time I posted what I thought was a genuine 'mystery car', within a few minutes the first guess was spot on & correct.....I think my crops are too generous and contain too much information / detail, therefore this time a 'stingier' crop, with more clues available if needed.

Rona!d Posted February 29, 2024 Share #21358 Posted February 29, 2024 As Glas GT ist pretty obvious I´ll throw in a BMW 1600 GT 😉 For a short period of time there was also a "BMW Glas" 1300 and 1700 GT available before BMW relabeled the Glas GT and put the 1.6 ltr. BMW engine in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Goriup Posted February 29, 2024 Share #21359 Posted February 29, 2024 Ronald got it - a 1968 BMW 1600 GT. The biggest changes to the Glas GT after BMW purchased the company in 1966, were under the surface. The more modern and effectice BMW rear suspension replaced the rigid, leaf-spring arrangement of the Glas, and the original Glas engine was upgraded to the more powerful BMW motor used in the 1600 TI. Externally, the grille, taillights & badging were changed to reflect BMW ownership of the Frua designed Glas GT. Your turn, Ronald JZG Welcome, dear visitor!
