This car took part in the HGPCA Pre '52 GP Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in August 1996.
It's the 1939 Talbot Lago T26 Décolée of Robs Lamplough, the 'Décolée' referrring to the offset drive train, but could also apply to the offset driving position. The car is powered by a six-cylinder 4½ litre unsupercharged engine and was originally designed to take on the pre-war Silver Arrows of Auto Union and Mercedes Benz, but lacked the power to do so.
