Talbot Lago T14 LS 2500 Coupé

Talbot-Lago T14LS

A total of just 45 Talbot Lago T14 2500's were produced. It's believed only seven or eight examples left the factory as "LS"-version, being the "Lago Sport". This Talbot Lago T14 LS 2500 Sport was originally delivered to Monsieur Damiron. It’s the second last produced Talbot Lago T14 LS; only one chassis was produced after this car. According to the build sheet we have on file, the car was fitted with an all-synchronized four-speed ZF gearbox, instead of the cheaper Pont-à-Mousson transmission. Furthermore, the car has its original matching-numbers 2500cc engine. When delivered new, the coachwork was metallic grey with Mastil 2500 vinyl and fabric interior, and the car was fitted with Robergel enamel wheels, heating, defrosting, and sun visors. We are happy to confirm the car survived completely in the same specification as it left the factory.

With huge thanks to historians Marc Rabineau and Nicolas Maier, we have a complete documented history of our Talbot Lago T14 LS.

The first owner, Mr Paul Damiron, President and General Manager of Wean-Damiron, located at 56 Avenue Hoche, Paris, registered the car with plates "4020 FS 75" on 9 January 1957. On 12 February 1958, the car went to its second owner, Mr Lucien Charuet. In 1962, he moved to another city and so the registration changed to 8532 EG 78. The third owner, Mr Alberto Bernard, registered the car with plates 2553 MY 75 on 8 November 1962. The fourth owner would keep the car for almost two years: Mr Andre Georges Gressier registered the car with plates 6484 EZ 78 and drove it between September 1963 and July 1965. Mr Andre Georges Ovalde bought the car in July 1965. The car was registered with plates 6656 RT 75. The last custodian, Mr Fromentin, acquired the Talbot Lago for 5,500 French Francs. He registered the car on 31 October 1969, with plate 9615 L 94. On 3 May 1970, the car entered with number 28 in the Coupe de l’Age d’Or at Montlhéry, finishing seventh in the competition class. In the history file, we have invoices for work carried out in the early 1970s, including by the famous Talbot workshop “Georges Grignard”. The last noted mileage was 71,962 kilometres on 24 June 1971. It seems that the car was parked a few days later, as the mileage was 72,035 when we acquired the car in March 2022.

The car was discovered at the beginning of 2022 and acquired by Real Art on Wheels immediately. With a total production run of only 45 examples, and the majority in restored condition, this is one of the most original T14 LS examples in existence according to Talbot Lago historian Nicolas Maier.

In recent years, we have carried out a precise conservation restoration. The engine and ZF gearbox have been completely overhauled. All electrical wiring has been renewed with correct materials. The interior seats, door panels, and headlining are still in very good and original condition, and have been cleaned and detailed. New tyres and brakes have been fitted. Nothing was forgotten. Over €150,000 has been invested in this car after our purchase. The car is mechanically completely restored while preserving its irreplaceable patina.

This car is for sale in Burgerveen, The Netherlands. Please don't hesitate to contact us for further details.
