Equipment
RHD. Chrome wire wheels, Marchal head and fog lights, skirts. Decent paint and interior, but plenty of peeling chrome. Chassis shows use and age. This restoration is coming apart before our eyes after years on static display and it will be expensive to arrest or reverse its decline. Rather portly bodywork, too, that isnt helped by the flat windshield, rear seats and blind quarter soft top. Peter Kaus Rosso et Bianco Collection
Market commentary
The bidding on this Talbot Lago was steady from $200,000 in $5,000 increments, indicating the bidders uncertainty both with this cars condition and with its pudgy coachwork. The seller should be very satisfied with this result.
