Talbot Lago · 1946–1953
Talbot Lago T26 Record
The Talbot Lago Record Type T26 was a large, six-cylinder executive car launched by the French Talbot company in 1946. In the context of the company's protracted financial collapse, the last T26s were probably those produced during 1953. The factory offered four body styles: a 4-door sedan, a convertible, a 2-door coach, and a 2-door "Surprofilé" coach. Many coachbuilders, eager to satisfy an affluent clientele, crafted bespoke bodies: Saoutchik, Dubos Frères, Graber, Figoni & Falaschi, Veth & Zoon, Antem, and others. However, the unfavorable economic climate significantly limited the production of these unique models. A few rare T26 Record models were equipped by the factory with the Grand Sport engine (190 hp, three Zenith Stromberg EX-32 carburetors, perforated camshafts, Alpax cylinder head, etc.): these were the Talbot Lago T26 Record Sport models. (Not to be confused with the Talbot Lago Grand Sport).
