* Much history from its earliest days
* Worthwhile restoration project with specialist bills for circa £36, 000 on file
* Coachwork by Rotterdam's MG de Baat

Coming to market as a highly worthwhile and deserving restoration project with much work carried out already, this Talbot-Darracq, with bodywork by Dutch coach-builder MG de Baat, unashamedly requires further work but does benefit from a partly-restored engine. The bodywork is said to be poor and the interior as average. For greater performance the engine has been partly restored around a larger 3-litre K75 block and the re-built K75 gearbox (both by specialist I. S. Polson, bills for £36, 000 on file) vendor-assessed as excellent, the axles, suspension and brakes are noted as poor.
