Lots of spares included. I've inherited my late father's Talbot Lago project. He had invested a large amount of money and time in the project but unfortunately never saw it completed. Someone now can take this project on to its final stage and have a fantastic 1951 Talbot Lago sports car (or monoposto) at a significantly cheaper price than buying at auction. The car currently doesn't have a body but that allows the new owner to choose from the numerous body styles that Talbot Lago had in period. These highly collectable cars were made famous by father and son duo Jean - Louis and Louis Rosier winning the 1950 Le Mans 24 hour race. This project is an opportunity to enjoy ownership of one of these iconic cars with a relatively small financial outlay.
