Chassis:
One of the best known Teardrops, chassis 90106 was famously raced from Paris to Cannes in less than 10 ten hours to win a bet. It was bought off the Talbot Lago stand at the Olympia Motor Show in London by legendary 'Bentley-Boy' Woolf Barnato. It resurfaced in the United States in the 1960s and was displayed for many years in the Briggs Cunningham museum. Since 1985 it has been owned by a prominent American collector of classic French road and racing cars. He had it restored by Hill & Vaughn and has since shown it very regularly at events all through the country. It is seen here at a recent outing, during the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
