The Talbot AV 105 is one of the most successful racing cars in pre-war history. It was built by the Swiss Georges Roesch, who worked as chief engineer at Talbot and was able to combine performance with reliability like no other. This report tells the story of one of the most famous Talbot AV 105s and shows it in many historical and current photographs.
In the forties and fifties, Hermann Graber fitted a series of Talbot-Lago chassis, one of the first being a T150 from 1937. Separated from its first chassis, this beautifully shaped body survived and was finally fitted to the chassis of a T120 from 1936. This report describes the history of this unique Graber body and shows the now restored vehicle in many pictures, supplemented by some archive photographs.
Teardrop or Goutte d'Eau - the term is often overused in the context of Figoni and Falaschi. The reason is simple: a pre-war car with a teardrop shape by the French coachbuilder, who was known for his flamboyant style, always meant big money at auction. This led - can it be described as "natural"? - to a few more "teardrops" than were originally built. Chassis 90034 is undisputedly an original, however, and has a complete history to boot.
