In the late 1950s, Talbot was struggling with the engine of their Sport model, so they sourced a powertrain from BMW and swapped the driver’s seat to the lefthand side, hoping to make a big debut in the United States. Unfortunately, very few of these cars were sold. Our car is only a chassis and we believe it was used for demonstration purposes at a car dealership during the time.
Our Talbot chassis is complete with the correct BMW engine. Coachwork will be completed at a later date.
