A bit about Talbot

Talbot was a British car manufacturer established in 1903 and retired in 1994. The brand is currently owned by the parent company of Peugeot though is no longer actively making new cars.

Originally conceived as a cross-channel brand, Talbot was initially called Clément-Talbot and used parts of French cars, just after a year later, in 1904, the brand had replaced these parts with British-sourced components and the company was renamed to simply Talbot. Despite this attempt to champion a British identity, the brand was purchased in 1919 by Darracq and Company, a London-based company with car-making factories in France. The company was hit hard by the great depression, however, and while the new company of STD Motors (Sunbeam, Talbot, and Darracq) ceased to exist in 1936, Talbot itself remained profitable due to its reputation for high quality vehicles. It was the Sunbeam branch of this three-pronged company that again dragged Talbot down in 1934 when the costs of the Sunbeam racing program became a heavy burden on the company.

While its parent company faltered, Talbot itself remained a stable business, and the mid 1930s the brand was bought by the Rootes Brothers. During this time, Talbot made upmarket sports saloons. In the 1950s the brand was hit hard by French government restrictions on large-engined cars, and by the end of the decade, the factory doors of Talbot’s French site where closed. In 1978 the marque was purchased by PSA Peugeot Citroën, and released Chrysler cars under the Talbot badge. As with most of the brand’s history, Talbot’s role as part of a multi-branched company did not serve it well. By the end of the brand’s lifespan, its parent company was struggling to balance multiple brands, even rebadging would-be Talbot models to fit their other marques. In 1986, PSA sold the development centre that would have created Talbot’s next models to the Jaguar brand. By 1994, Talbot was no longer active.
