It is the story of a car, prepared especially for a race after winning the LeMans 24 Hours, and which did not participate in it despite the good results in testing and that we never see again. But the model is so atypical and its unique history that it was worth focusing on.

We have decided to produce car number 14 driven by Jean Bugatti who brings the car from the factory in Molsheim to the circuit in Montlhéry.

Car number 16 is driven by Jean-Pierre Wimille who would probably have lead if he had taken part in the race since he beat Raymond Sommer, the Ardennes Wild Boar, by 4 seconds in Saturday’s tests. In the end Talbot took the 3 steps of the podium. Louis Chiron was the first driver to win a 3rd Grand Prix de France.

Warning: Collectors model. Not suitable for children under 14 years.
