A happy circumstance came true when we were given access to an absolutely original Talbot-Lago “Teardrop” and were able
to take its measurements. Our adrenaline was running high with the delightful anticipation and surging urge to replicate
a masterpiece of automobile engineering but we were also conscious of the challenging nature of such a project and the
degree of commitment that it would require. After all there is a general consensus that this legendary automobile car
belongs in a class that stands all by itself. Only about a quarter of these impressive vehicles are still known to exist today
they witnesses to a time gone by when form was more important than it is today. With a body customized by the famous coachbuilder
Fioni & Falaschi the Talbot-Lago boasted an appearance that was virtually exorbitant. The car truly represented what we would call “a state of art” today.
Hand-assembled precision metal model built from 1488 single parts.
True-to-scale authentic replication of the “Teardrop”-bodywork customized by the renowned French coachbuilders Figoni & Falaschi.
Precisely designed vehicle-frame as metal construction.
Openable engine-hood with real air-vents.
Supporting rod keeps the engine-hood in opened position.
True to the original distinctive front end with headlights recessed into the bodywork and arranged behind a chromium-plated metal grid.
Perfectly designed cooler grill made of metal.
Functional metal-sunroof easy to open.
Elaborate side body trim strips made of metal.
Form-fitting cover of the rear wheels with crescent shaped fender skirts.
Movable doors.
Perfectly-wired wheels with a light alloy rim stainless steel spokes and nipples.
Removable two-wing central locking nuts.
