Talbot-Lago T150 C-SS Headlines Broad Arrow Villa d’Este
Talbot-Lago T150 C-SS ‘Teardrop’ to Headline Broad Arrow Auction at Villa d’Este
One of the most breathtaking and historically important pre-war automobiles ever built—the 1937 Talbot-Lago T150 C-SS ‘Teardrop’ Coupé by Figoni et Falaschi—will be offered by Broad Arrow Auctions, the official auction partner of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, on 24 May 2025 at Lake Como, Italy.
Known as chassis 90034, this car represents the perfect marriage of advanced engineering and revolutionary design. It is the only 'Goutte d’Eau' Teardrop Coupé constructed on Talbot-Lago’s short-wheelbase T150 C-SS competition chassis, making it an unmatched one-off. Underneath its flowing aluminium coachwork lies a powerful 4.0-litre inline-six engine, paired with a Wilson preselector gearbox—a drivetrain proven in Grand Prix and endurance racing of the era.
Styled by Figoni et Falaschi, the car epitomises Art Deco automotive design, with fully enclosed fenders, seamless curves, and an aerodynamic silhouette that was decades ahead of its time. It was both a rolling sculpture and a formidable race machine.
Raced in-period, 90034 claimed a class victory at the 1948 Spa 24 Hours, underscoring its performance credentials. Over the years, it has passed through some of the world’s most respected collectors and has been meticulously restored to concours condition.
As the centerpiece of Broad Arrow’s auction during the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, this extraordinary Talbot-Lago is expected to draw international attention. It is not just a collector car—it is a singular work of art and a cornerstone of automotive history.
