This was one of the competitors in the HGPCA Pre-61 Front Engine GP Cars race at the Silverstone Classic meeting in July 2010.
It's the 1950 Talbot Lago T26 of Richard Pilkington, chassis number 110057, a car that was driven in the 1951 Le Mans 24 Hour race by Juan Manuel Fangio and Louis Rosier, but retired after 9 hours with a ruptured oil tank. The Talbot Lago T26 had a 4,482cc unsupercharged engine, and detachable wings and lighting equipment so that it could also be used in the 4½ litre Formula One Grand Prix racing of that period.
