This is the Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Coupé Saoutchik 1950 sn110151 Original Car 2 Tone Blue in 1:43 scale by Ilario.
The 1950 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Coupé by Saoutchik (chassis no. 110151) is a masterpiece of post-war automotive craftsmanship, distinguished by a harmonious blend of high-performance engineering and one-off coachbuilt luxury that few competitors could rival. What set this car apart was its potent 4.5-liter straight-six engine, derived from racing lineage, paired with a lightweight, beautifully proportioned Saoutchik body that emphasized both elegance and agility. Unlike mass-produced grand tourers of the era, the T26 Grand Sport Coupé featured custom coachwork with flowing lines, intricate details, and personalized interior appointments, making it not just a car but a bespoke work of art. Its combination of speed, exclusivity, and artistic design placed it in a rarefied class — a machine that delivered dynamic performance while serving as a showcase of French coachbuilding brilliance in the early 1950s.
Ilario’s 1:43 scale models are high-end, hand-crafted miniature collectible cars that capture the elegance and detail of classic and historic automobiles in a compact format (about ~10 cm long). These pieces are typically limited-edition, resin and metal hybrids with photo-etched parts, finished with meticulous paintwork and presented as display-quality collectibles rather than toys, making them prized among serious model car enthusiasts and collectors.
