Sic Semper Tyrannis ☨
Never a volume automaker, Talbot-Lago produced only 35 examples of the T26 Grand Sport, of which only three were bodied with open coachwork on the desirable short-wheelbase chassis. The heart of the T26 is its engine, a 4.5-liter, OHV inline-six topped with three Zenith Stromberg carburetors. The mill developed 190 bhp at 4,200 rpm. Like many other French cars of the day, this Talbot-Lago uses a four-speed pre-selector transmission, which eliminates the need for the driver to master a clutch in the non-synchro gearboxes of the era.
