Ex-Louis Rosier Talbot Lago: A Stunning Piece of Automotive History

It’s thought that this Talbot-Lago T23 was delivered new in 1938 to racing driver Louis Rosier, alongside a T150 SS Coupé by Figoni et Falaschi. French ace Rosier would go on to serve with the Resistance during the war, before establishing himself as one of the leading Grand Prix drivers of the late 1940s and early ’50s. Although he was an excellent Grand Prix driver, his most famous success came in sports cars, when he won the 1950 Le Mans 24 Hours in a Talbot-Lago T26 GS. He drove the endurance classic almost single-handed, his son Jean-Louis completing only a couple of laps as his co-driver. (Editors note: I said 22 hours in the video but it's actually estimated to be 23!).
