1950 Talbot Lago T26C

This is a photograph I took at Luffield corner during the Chopard 100-Mile Grand Prix Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.

It's Belgian driver François d'Huart in a 1950 Talbot Lago T26C which has a 6-cylinder inline 4,562cc unsupercharged engine and is in the yellow racing colours of Belgium. An online site about the Talbot Lago T26  says this about the car:

 

Talbot T26C-DA [110 053]: Built in 1950 using parts from '110 003' and raced for the works by Martin, Chaboud and Giraud-Cabantous in 1950 then by Rosier as a private entry in 1951. Driven by Trintignant for Ecurie Rosier in 1952, then Giraud-Cabantous 1952-53. Owned by Marceau Hauret 1955 and Houdayer (Paris) 1981. Raced from 1987-2000 by François d'Huart (Belgium) as '100 105'.
