Talbot-Lago

From Classic Car Life

Talbot-Lago was a French automobile manufacturer at Suresnes, Seine. The Anglo-French STD (Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq) combine collapsed in 1935. The French Talbot company was reorganised by Anthony Lago (1893-1960) and after that, the Talbot-Lago name was used but on the home market the cars bore a Talbot badge.

At the same time, the British interests of Talbot were taken over by the Rootes Group and the parallel using of Talbot brand in France and Britain ended. Talbot-Lago cars sold in Britain were badged as Darracq.Credit for this page must go to the excellent Wikipedia, the original page can be found here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talbot-Lago
