1948 Talbot Lago T26C

This was one of the competitors in the HGPCA Pre-61 Front Engine Grand Prix Cars race at the Silverstone Classic meeting in July 2010.

It's the 1948 Talbot Lago T26C of Klaus Lehr, chassis 110004, which has a 6-cylinder inline 4,482cc unsupercharged engine. The Talbot Lagos took part in the 1949 (pre-World Championship) Grand Prix races but were generally outnumbered and outclassed by the Ferraris and Maseratis, although Louis Rosier won the Belgian Grand Prix and Louis Chiron the French Grand Prix in one of these cars.
