Can you imagine the excitement?!

I would find a team of mechanics, tell them we would split the profits and restore them one by one. My life would be complete

Sam, looks French to me, so probably a Delahaye, or Delage from the mid 30s stunning all the same!

Thom,

According to their official press release car 20 is a "Talbot Lago T26 cabriolet Saoutchik" once owned by a king and in a custom spec. I assume this is why the front end has some extra lights, this is the only similair pic I can find...



and the press release:

Dammit! Talbot Lago would have been my 3rd guess lol, but at least I got the French bit right :wink:
It also gets a bit confusing because of the 3 mentioned, all would use same "Carrosserie house's" to build individual bodies, in the same way that Rolls Royce, Bentley and Daimler would all use Mulliners, Barclays, etc

What a find though!
