Chassis Number: 3179
Factory archives note this to be a T26 with the potent Grand Sport 4.5-liter power unit, and specifically the more-desirable aluminum-head version, of which a mere three dozen were equipped. Talbot-Lago’s designation for these was T26 Record Sport.
Figoni’s production record states that they received the Record Sport chassis from Talbot-Lago on January 29, 1948. They proceeded to clothe the chassis with a Cabriolet Décapotable, one of only four ever to have been completed this way, of which just this and another survive today.
