1951 Talbot Lago T-26 Grand Sport Saoutchik Coupe
| ONE-OF-A-KIND ID# 110156 THE TALBOT-LAGO WAS TOUTED AS BEING THE FASTEST TOURING CAR BUILT IN FRANCE AT THIS TIME AND MANY WERE GRACED WITH FLAMBOYANT COACHWORK BY INDEPENDENT CARROSSERIES AS WAS THIS STUNNING CAR. THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND COUPE BY JACQUES SAOUTCHIK HAS RECEIVED ACCLAIM THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND IS ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE AN AUTOMOTIVE WORK OF ART. 110156 was a One-Off Saoutchik design. Not only was it on the extended Grand Sport Chassis, but the Greenhouse was a unique notchback design, which flowed into an equally unique rear end treatment with a relatively long trunk tapering down to the rear bumper. 110156 was the second Grand Sport built on the 2.80 meter wheelbase. Featuring the waterfall grille design with chromed scallops topping the front fenders. This One-Off design had a more rounded shape than on the fastbacks and the coupe roofline a more “formal” notch to it. The rear window was larger, with a banana-like curved shape which was very different to the rectangular one on the fastbacks, and duplicated in period by Saoutchik on other closed bodies for Delahaye. In 2019, a cosmetic restoration was completed that included returning the car back to its original color of solid Black. Having never been damaged this Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport is one of the top original / restored examples in existence Previous owners include well-known collectors: Charles Howard, UK Albrecht Guggisberg of Oldtimer Garage in Bern, Switzerland Jacques “Frenchy” Harguindeguy of Walnut Creek ,CA Eric Traber of Switzerland Don Williams (Blackhawk Collection)
