The Talbot history began in 1903 already. The originally english based company was sold in 1914 to France. In 1935 the italian engineer Antonio Lago bought the – in the meantime bankrupt – company which was called Talbot-Lago now and from then on the company became a manufacturer that not only was successful with racing cars but also built some of the most beautiful car of the 20th century. Today Talbot-Lago vehicles are much sought after collector cars.
This Talbot-Lago was delivered new to Swtzerland in 1947. Swiss papers come with the car. The restoration started in 2010 in Germany, engine and Wilson-PreSelctor gearbox and also the beautiful Convertible body had been extensively restored – pictures and invoices come with the car. The original built sheet shows that this car is matching numbers. Swiss history ( several carte grise in copy ) and also german registration.
