Talbot Lago T26 Cabrio Grand SpSaoutchik by Carbone - Chromes
Talbot Lago T26 Cabriolet Grand Sport Saoutchik
Chassis 110110 was originally shown by Talbot Lago and Saoutchik at the 1949 Geneva Motor Show and was purchased soon after by New York furrier Louis Ritter, a man with flamboyant taste to say the least. Over a number of years, the car changed hands many times and the body and chassis parted company, the latter rebuilt in the 1970s with a sports-racing body, while the original coachwork was lost. The car has since been restored (or rather authentically recreated) and the model depicts it as it was offered for sale in 2015. It’s a dramatic design and the two-tone blue and cream paint with chrome highlights is all neatly reproduced over the flowing lines and the colour scheme continues through the interior.
