1938 Talbot Lago T150C S Figoni & Falaschi Torpedo Cabriolet
Featured is a very beautiful T150C S bodied by Figoni & Falaschi in style of the Delahaye 135 Roadster shown at the 1936 Paris Auto Salon. Built in 1938, chassis 90019 was sold new to Portugal and remained with the first owner's family until the mid-1970s. It was subsequently owned by a Swiss collector, who entered the car in completely original condition in the 1997 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. The car was driven on the road up the coast of Florida from Palm Beach to Amelia Island. Still bearing its original blue on light blue paintscheme the car was awarded the Best in Show price ahead of famous Mercedes-Benz SSK Trossi Roadster that usually wins wherever it goes.
After owning the car for seven years, the car was sold to its current owner. It was completely restored to this very striking yellow over blue paint scheme. Freshly restored, it was first shown to the public during the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where it won the 'French Cup' against very strong competition.
