seems to me like 1920ies or 30ies-cars. foreground: I saw a radiator-shape like this on a 7,5 litre peugeot. background: a little bit like a bentley six speed from 1929. :-) der krusche -- Last edit: 2006-04-24 13:58:16 |

Almost certainly a Roesch Talbot probably a 105 of 1930/31 vintage |

What's the name Talbot, Roesch, ou Roesch Talbot? |

Yep, looks like one of the 1931-32 Talbot 105 team cars. Built by Talbot of London (not the French Talbot company) and designed by the Swiss engineer Georges Roesch. I think the race is the 1932 BARC 500 Miles at Brooklands. |

Roesch Talbots were fine cars and were raced by the Fox and Nichols team between 1930 and 1933. They specialized in long distance races and repeatedly came home with impressive team awards, though could not compete for absolute speed with supercharged Alfas and the like. The race models really differed quite modestly from road models and still only had a singler carburettor. This could be a 90- the bonnet line of this car was higher than that of the later 105- but this is a deceptive and rather blurred picture. The rough surface certainly looks like Brooklands concrete! Rather strikingly, Talbot built mostly quite heavy and 'un- sporty' family saloons, like my 1933 65 model. But all were very massive in construction and also heavy. My car will not win races but may well survive another 75 years! -- Last edit: 2010-03-16 15:59:20 |

More info here, with a long history of the 4 Fox & Nicholl team cars on this 2006 auction listing for GO 54. They raced at the 1931 Brooklands 500 "shorn of their wings, hoods, windscreens, spare wheels and lighting equipment". If this is the 1932 Brooklands 500 (as comment ^^), it was their final race as a works team. |
