The automotive marque Talbot has a long and complicated history. The brand began about 1903 as Clement-Talbot, after the founder's names. The post-war company would be bought out in 1920 by the French company A Darracq & Co, and a new conglomerate called Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq was formed. These three automotive brands would manufacture individually. From 1921 to 1922, the name Talbot survived as Talbot-Darracq, which were the French-built cars from the Suresnes region near Paris, and as Talbot London, which was the English-built cars. By 1922 Darracq was dropped, and the Suresnes factory became Automobiles Talbot. By the middle of the 1930s, STD motors would be bought out by the Rootes Group, and Antonio Lago would purchase Automobiles Talbot in France, thus becoming Talbot-Lago (same badge), and Talbot London evolved into Sunbeam-Talbot. The name survived two world wars, but Talbot-Lago closed in 1958, and the name Talbot was sold to Simca. The Rootes Group stopped the usage of the name around the same time. Finally, from 1979 to 1985, the name was resurrected by Chrysler and Peugeot to produce small hatchbacks. Today collectors know the name Talbot-Lago and Talbot to be synonymous with coachbuilders such as Figoni or Saoutchik and models like the T26 and T120 or the Talbot 10 and 105.
