What prewar car is this?

[JagJob]

Hi,

This car is in my archives for some 8 years or so and we still don't know what it is! It was participating in a French event and the only thing I seem to remember was there was "suspension Grégoire" written somewhere on the car. I'm not sure!

Hope someone of you has a clue?



Thanks in advance!
Best, Job

May be a Salmson faux cabriolet...

Looks quite british to me, send the pic to prewarcar.com, they'll know.

I think its a Talbot. Sometimes with pre-war cars, the only way of knowing is by the radiator grill, and it looks simmilar to these:

Think you are quite close. Talbot London was suggested by someone else too. Thanks!

Definitely a Talbot. The A frame arrangement to the light bar was one of their trademark features.

A Talbot from the Roesch-era... Maybe an 105?

looks like a 1932 Talbot 105

I'm pretty sure it's a Talbot

Except, of course, when Swallow/Jaguar used something very similar on the SS100.

It is a Talbot (London), now confirmed by the Talbot Owners Club. It is no member of their club and the coachwork is described as quite unusual. More details will follow later as they will try to identify type and body. I'll keep you posted!

Thanks for identifying this car as a Talbot! Otherwise, I would not have had a clue where to start.

Does it have a wooden frame just like this 105 rep?

Fantastic machinery!
