Talbot Other AG 14/45 Tourer 1929
Allmän beskrivning :
In 1916, Georges Henri Roesch became chief engineer of Clement Talbot, Ltd., of London. Talbot was originally an importer and assembler of French Clément-Bayard automobiles, and later, with the construction the necessary facilities, builder of British Talbot cars from 1906. Born in Switzerland, Roesch brought with him a vast amount of experience from motoring pioneers such as Grégoire, Delaunay Belleville, Renault, and Daimler. Upon his arrival at Talbot, he set about designing a new range of cars for the post–Great War era, but financial constraints meant his design only came to fruition after the formation of the Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq partnership in 1920. His brilliant 14/45 model, a light six-cylinder car with an engine displacing 1665cc, came just at the right time, as S-T-D Motors, Ltd. was in dire financial straits. The star of Roesch’s new model was the six-cylinder engine which, thanks to light weight but strong internals, revved to an extremely high 4500 rpm and produced 41 horsepower. While it was not intended as a sports car, it delivered excellent performance and road manners for a touring car of the period. Other advancements included a gearbox lubricated by warm engine oil and an oil pressure warning light in place of the standard gauge. The 14/45 proved very popular from 1926 through 1932 with over 11,000 examples built.
The Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register indicates that this 14/45 Tourer, chassis number 25065, was originally sold to the delightfully named Maude’s Motor Mart of Exeter, UK. It was ordered on 19 February 1929, invoiced the next day and delivered the following week on 27 February. In previous ownership, it was restored over an extended period from the 1970s until 1996. Its original registration, RL 9317, a 1929 Cornwall issue, remains with the car. Wearing five-seat open coachwork from Darracq Motor Engineering Co., which had been Alexandre Darracq’s aeronautical company during the Great War, this car is the quintessential early British tourer. It is handsomely finished in deep blue with black wings and a black hood and tonneau cover. The body features restrained nickel brightwork which is in very good condition. The paintwork is showing a light and pleasing patina, while still remaining very attractive. Notable period features are direction signals atop the rear number plate, a fishtail exhaust, and leather-gaitered springs.
The cabin is simple and elegantly appointed, in keeping with the period. The dark blue leather has been recently refurbished and presents in excellent condition. A wood fascia is dotted with period instrumentation from Smiths and Jaeger. The full folding hood and side curtains keep occupants dry during the occasional bout of proper English weather. The six cylinder engine is pleasingly and honestly presented, with minimal flash and decoration but mainly correct fittings and plumbing. It runs strong and is surprisingly revvy for a car of this era. That wonderful engine in combination with the four-speed manual transmission and four wheel brakes makes the Talbot AG a delightfully brisk car to drive.
Since the restoration was completed, this Talbot has seen only moderate use and regular upkeep, and it remains in very well preserved condition. It will certainly make for a very enjoyable and seldom-seen touring and event car. Sale includes period brochures, a copy of the owner’s pamphlet, sheets documenting production details, and a full set of side curtains.

om Talbot
Talbot, ett namn som klingar i öronen på de som är insatta i bilhistoria. Berättelsen om Talbot är som ett lapptäcke vävt av trådar av innovation, elegans och racingarv. Detta bilmärke, med sina rötter som sträcker sig tillbaka till slutet av 1800-talet, har satt oöverträffade avtryck i bilvärldens historia.Talbots resa började när Adolphe Clément-Bayard, en fransk industriell och cykelentusiast, förvärvade det brittiska företaget Darracq i början av 1900-talet. Detta markerade födelsen av varumärket Clément-Talbot, en fusion av fransk elegans och brittiskt hantverk. Dessa fordon bar de omisskännliga dragen från båda nationerna, där prestanda förenades med förfining.
Under mellankrigstiden kom Talbot verkligen till sin rätt. Det var under denna era som märket producerade några av sina mest utsökta modeller. Talbot 105, med sina eleganta linjer och avancerade teknik, erövrade hjärtan hos kräsna bilägare. Modellen 105 personifierade konsten att köra före kriget och erbjöd en balanserad kombination av kraft och elegans.
Men Talbots sanna rykte låg i sina racinginsatser. Talbot-Lago Grand Prix-bilarna, med sina kraftfulla motorer och strömlinjeformade karosserier, var fruktade konkurrenter på Europas racingbanor. Talbot-Lago säkrade seger vid prestigefyllda evenemang som Le Mans 24-timmarsloppet 1949 och cementerade därmed sin plats i motorsporthistorien.
Efter andra världskriget vågade sig Talbot in i lyxiga grand touring-bilar. Talbot-Lago T26, i både Record- och Grand Sport-varianter, visade varumärkets engagemang för hantverk och prestanda. Dessa magnifika bilar hade kraftfulla sexcylindriga motorer, praktfulla interiörer och tidlös estetik.
Men med åren förändrades förutsättningarna i bilindustrin. Ekonomiska utmaningar och förändrade marknadsvillkor innebar slutet för Talbot. Varumärket, en gång ett symbol för biltillverkningskonst, bleknade så småningom bort.
I dag lever Talbots arv vidare genom samlare och entusiaster. Märkets finare modeller förblir eftertraktade skatter, var och en ett vittnesmål om en tid då elegans och teknisk skicklighet sammanföll. Talbot kan vara ett kapitel i historieböckerna, men dess historia fortsätter att fascinera dem som uppskattar bilbyggandets konst."
