Category:Talbot-Lago T26 GSL 1953

Although derived from the Lago GSL 1950 it is an aesthetically new model, Antonio Lago's penultimate opportunity to perpetuate his business in a context unfavorable to luxury cars. On the high-performance Grand Sport Long chassis, further extended to a 2.90 m wheelbase, a single body exclusively manufactured by the Talbot factory in Suresnes is available ; it is designed by Carlo Delaisse, a stylist who has worked among others for Letourneur & Marchand, who creates an elegant 2 + 2 halfway between the coupe and the coach, also at the origin of the T 14 model. Engine power is increased to 210 hp thanks to three Solex type 40 PAI inverted carburettors and a compression ratio pushed to 8:1 (Chassis number 111 001 to 111 0??)

210 bhp, 4,482 cc OHV twin-cam inline six-cylinder engine with three Solex carburetors, Wilson four-speed pre-selector transmission, independent front coil-spring suspension, live rear axle with leaf springs, and four-wheel drum brakes. Wheelbase: 110.23 in.
