Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

BMW 3.2 liter 150hp V8, ZF 4 speed, chrome wire wheels, left bullet fender mirror, fog lights. Quick and poorly masked repaint with blisters and filler chips, poor chrome, decent interior. Clean and mostly original with an engine thats claimed to be freshly rebuilt. Basically, a car no one cares about, with dull performance and distinctive but outdated styling. One of fourteen built, and theres a reason: no one wanted them.

Market commentary

Is this the Talbot Lago RM sold here in 2001 for $88,000 The colors are the same and so is the mistake of cataloging it as 2.3 liters instead of 3.2. Only the chassis number is different and old eyes can stare at the VIN plate a long time trying to make out the difference between 56B and 638. In the end it matters little: this is the price in 2001 and its the price today.
