I do not think i have ever saw 2 cars that are simply as stunning as the 1937 Talbot-Lago T150 C SS Tear Drop Coupe & the 1932 Daimler 40/50 Double Six Sport Saloon. They should bring a very nice price for both of the cars. Simply stunning automobiles.
We are very excited to see them in person next week. Both are spectacular cars and we’re sure that you are correct about the price.
The Daimler is my dream.
I hope I get to drive it!
See you there!
There is a split vote here on our favorite, with the Daimler and Ferrari 250 GT SWB Comp taking the most votes. It doesn’t hurt that the Daimler photo is good enough to be made into a poster.
See you there!
From a very quick glance the Daimlar 40/50 was a Bugatti Royale as the coachwork is very similar.Some of cars that appeared at auction were beautiful and its about time that prices of on some of Pre-war Exotics and the the High Performance Cars surpass the crazy prices that have taken place at Barrett-Jackson.
Pre-war cars accounted for 7 out of the top 10 sellers during Arizona Auction Week (https://dev.sportscardigest.com/archives/2834) and for good reason.
The Daimler had a very special look and feel to it, although we were a little disappointed with its purple interior. It was interesting, but didn’t fit our perception of the car.
