According to this page, it's a TL 20/98. What would the model name be for here... "20/98 hp Type TL"? |

Either model name would be correct. In France, where the car was built, it would have been called a Talbot TL 16-18cv. From 1922 on, when French Talbots were imported into England, also Sweden and some other countries, they were re-badged as "Darracq" to avoid confusion with the Talbots built in London by the same Sunbeam Talbot Darracq group of companies. See http://www.stdregister.org.uk/ for more history. |

Bill messaged me that he is the current owner of this fine auto, and included a photo:![[Image: 2008_1009vivitar0143.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/9611/2008_1009vivitar0143.jpg) and a video of the Darracq during the filming of this movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2912R9peoWY -- Last edit: 2012-02-27 18:06:48 |
