Condition
6
This 1949 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Cabriolet retains a high degree of originality and has been preserved by a succession of well-known collectors. While it has been lightly refurbished to maintain usability and originality, it has not undergone a full restoration, making it a unique opportunity for either further enjoyment or a concours-level restoration. The car's originality and the quality of its past ownership contribute to its desirability, but its unrestored condition introduces potential needs for cosmetic and mechanical attention.
