"CLASSIC OF THE DAY"
FROM:
GAVIN McGUIRE CLASSICS
1950 TALBOT LAGO 2.7Litre BABY
This
very rare car was was clearly very expensive when it was new and if you
look closely at the quality of design and construction as well as the
trim and detailing you can see that nobody was going round the Talbot
Lago works complaining that things should not be included because they
were too expensive! It is powered by Lago's 120 bhp 2.7 litre four
cylinder twin cam hemispherical combustion chamber engine which is mated
to a Wilson preselector gearbox so it has got plenty of power and it
has decent handling and brakes to match so it's ideally suited for
comfortable long distance cruising. It has a comprehensive set of Jaeger
instrumentation and some very period-looking controls all set in
painted metal dashboard as you might expect from a French car of this
period plus a sprung steering wheel which is a work of art in its own
right! By the way I have a copy of an Automobile Magazine road test of
this actual car which has more pictures as well as a brief history of
its development - I can e-mail this to you if you are interested in
learning more. This is a rare opportunity to buy into the Talbot Lago
marque which should not be missed! '
