    Read the description below. Apparently this Talbot 26C has never been raced!

    Steve,
    You will just have to come to Laguna Seca in August to see a Talbot 26C on the race track.

    "" This 1950 Talbot T-26C Grand Prix car with chassis number 11052 was one of the factory works racers during the 1950 season. It is fitted with the twin-plug engine and a side air intake commonly known as a 'bazooka'. It is one of just 23 examples created from 1948 through 1951 and is powered by a straight six cylinder engine that displaces 4.5 liters and produces 260 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel drum brakes."

    Because it had my name in the front. I really didn't expect it to show, like a couple of others. Mea Culpa for not being clever about records of who I loaned things to.

    Have a look at the rear wheel placement of both 26c's, the one that was not raced in post #46 seems to have the rear wheel oddly placed too far toward the cockpit, whereas the photo in post #47 has the rear wheel placed more rearward in a more practical place. Or is it the angle of the shots?

    Paul,
    That might be the reason it had never raced. The driver would have been terrified of losing a elbow on a road wheel being that close !

    Two engine shots of the 1950 Talbot T 26C at Laguna Seca. 2017.
    Note the straight six engine with 12 ignition wires for 2 spark plugs per cylinder.
