With its 4,482cc six-cylinder twin-cam engine putting out 170 hp, the Talbot-Lago T26 Record was one of the most powerful passenger car chassis in the world in the early postwar period. Conceived by the legendary Anthony Lago, the T26 Record was intended as a sporting luxury car for the discerning few who were able to appreciate the dual-purpose nature of its beautifully engineered chassis, while being able to pay the extravagant price that was required. Impeccable road manners, a great engine, powerful drum brakes, independent front suspension and the precise Wilson pre-selector gearbox all added up to a car for the true connoisseur. Only a few chassis out of the limited production went to outside coachbuilders. With its elegant and understated lines, this lovely Graber cabriolet is one of these very rare and desirable cars.
