Equipment
Chrome centerlock wire wheels, fender skirts, Marchal headlights, 3-carb 190hp engine, Firestone wide whitewalls, hood ornament, pre-selector, radio, dash clock.
Condition
Winner of the Grand Prix du Salon at the 1950 Paris Auto Show, later disappeared for years until 2013 and meticulously restored for the present owner in its original colors. Incredibly distinctive coachwork, more elegant, aristocratic and ingenious than beautiful which describes many Saoutchik bodies. This is also the only one built. Excellent paint, chrome, interior and underneath. Done recently to deservedly high standards and a shoo-in for most concours events as it sits.
Market commentary
A one-of-a-kind Talbot-Lago sold for a deserved price fitting its rarity and elegance.
