Condition

The car underwent restoration in the 1990s and early 2000s, with the engine rebuilt in the 1980s. The body was stripped and refinished, and the interior was retrimmed. While much of the restoration remains in fine condition, there is minor evidence of age and use visible in the undercarriage and engine compartment, and light wear to the front seats.

Successor to the famous Grand Prix–derived T26 Grand Sport as Talbot-Lago’s sports model, the T26 GSL or Grand Sport Longue was based upon a redesigned, lightened, and shortened version of the Record passenger car chassis, with independent front coil-spring suspension.
The magnificent T26 six-cylinder engine was fitted with three downdraft Solex carburetors, boosting its horsepower output to 210 at 4,500 rpm.
Wrapping around this advanced chassis was a slinky new factory body designed by Carlo Delaisse.
Debuted at the 1953 Paris Salon, the T26 GSL was a very elegant and powerful car, but not a commercial success, and the model was short-lived; production ended in late 1954 or early 1955 after only between 19 and 21 were built, of which about a dozen remain extant.
These are significant as the last of the “big Talbots” powered by the great T26 engine.
