look at the names: LONDON W. and SURESNES.

North Kensington is an area of West and North - West London where the first Clement Talbot were assembled, therefore LONDON W.
The British-owned, Paris-based Darracq took over
Clement Talbot including the British Talbot and Talbot models. Therefore SURESNES .Cars
built at Suresnes were then marketed as Talbot-Darracq.
Thank you Matt for this valuable information.
The Italian Antonio Lago bought the French Talbot factory in 1935 / 36 and offered new models under the name of TALBOT / LAGO. So here you see a emblem that was used when A. Lago offered the new developed model.
In 1949 the Italian Figoni designed a very special Sports Coupé of the type T26. This particular car had also a special designed hood ornament. A very hard to find emblem:

you can see the emblem between hood and radiator

Hello Claus,
ReplyDeleteto add some information about the the production sites indicated on the emblem:
"London, W.:"
Starting in 1905, the company branded its imported cars as Clement Talbot and began assembling French made parts at a new factory in North Kensington, London, selling them under the name Talbot. North Kensington is an area of west and northwest London. This is where "London, W." comes from.
"Suresnes":
1919 The British-owned, Paris-based Darracq took over Clement Talbot including the British Talbot and Talbot models. Cars built at Suresnes were then marketed as Talbot-Darracq.
Maybe this helps,
Matt
