1947 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport by Franay

[SACO]

Yes ,Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport by Franay !
But it is not the one of 1947
Locked for you !

[sixtee5cuda]

Is this chassis number 110113?

[SACO]

The front view is different of 110113 !

[sixtee5cuda]

110113 is normally listed as being from 1947 (seems incorrect), while 110123 (in blue or silver) is shown as being a 1949.

Is the puzzle car from 1948?

(Thank you for posting the images.  I have never seen pictures of the 3rd T26 by Franay before)

[SACO]

I unfortunately have no serial number for this car !

[sixtee5cuda]

There is a chance that 110113 had two different noses.  It is said that 3 T26's were built by Franay, but one of those was a convertible.  That leaves 110113 and 110123, with 110123 having many styling differences (nose, side, etc.).  The puzzle car only seems to differ from 110113 in the front.

I wish I had access to the $650 Talbot-Lago Grand Sport Book.  That would probably be able to solve this one.

What information are you looking for to call this puzzle solved?  A year?

[SACO]

Yes ,but not 1947 or 1948  !
