Description
This model is new and has never been exhibited before. It comes from the 'forgotten stock' of a toy retailer and has only now been rediscovered – along with other CMC models. This is a rare opportunity to acquire this special edition model, long sold out, in mint condition. Only a few pieces are available.
I check the model for damage before shipping, as it has been in its original packaging for over 10 years.
You will receive an invoice WITHOUT VAT shown, in accordance with §25a UStG.
Many experts around the globe agree that this vehicle can no longer be judged by the standards that otherwise apply to automobiles.
The Talbot-Lago, with its body crafted by the renowned French metalworkers Figoni & Falaschi, is a truly otherworldly sight. The car is simply what we would call "state of the art" today. When Talbot first presented the coupé at the 1937 Paris Motor Show, it immediately captivated onlookers with almost breathless enthusiasm. The terms "goutte d'eau" (water droplet) and "teardrop coupé" (teardrop coupé) soon emerged, neither of which were ever officially used, but which perfectly captured the car's extraordinary form. Everything about this fascinating vehicle, every detail, testifies to a profound love of design and complementary elements. Every line, every molding enhances the overall effect without being obtrusive. This car is a harmonious whole – from the narrow front fenders to the chrome exhaust tip. Add to that a luxuriously appointed interior with exquisite craftsmanship in fine wood and sumptuous leather.
Under the hood of the coupé lies a silky-smooth inline six-cylinder engine that delivers between 140 and 160 hp, depending on the version. Strong torque guarantees energetic acceleration and good performance.
Not even 20 of these cars – each differing in barely perceptible or larger and more noticeable details – were produced between 1937 and 1939.
Only about a quarter of these impressive vehicles are still known today, as witnesses to a long-gone era when form was paramount.
Although only accessible to very wealthy people even back then, the Talbot Lago 150C-SS nevertheless found its way to the world's great racetracks.
There, the French luxury vehicle was able to impress with victories and successes even under the toughest conditions.
The French racing drivers Philippe de Massa and Norbert Jean Mahé piloted this Talbot Lago 150C-SS with starting number 8 for the British racing team TASO Mathieson at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 1939, the last event before the outbreak of World War II.
A grueling and material-sapping race across the then 13.492 kilometer long circuit at the Sarthe demanded all the skill of both pilots.
Unfortunately, technical problems forced them to abandon the project.
This vehicle with chassis number 90117 differs from the standard production vehicle due to extensive modifications and add-on parts.
