1938 Talbot-Lago T23 Cabriolet

  • Designed by Figoni
  • Chassis Number: 93408
  • Engine Number: 23544
This Talbot-Lago T23 Cabriolet wears factory-built, Joseph Figoni-designed (aided in the design) coachwork with an aerodynamic radiator shell and a Wilson pre-selector gearbox. It was meticulously restored for a former owner by the Parisian facility of Lecoq and finished in midnight blue with red leather upholstery. It was originally delivered and restored with the traditional flat radiator shell but was subsequently upgraded in the modern day to the aerodynamic 'Figoni' nose and more intricate bumpers. At the same time, the car received aluminum wheel discs.
