Talbot 105, 110

Georges Roesch designed the 14/45 six cylinder 1665cc engine with an overhead valve system for 1926. From 1930 the engine was developed into a 2276cc 6-cylinder engine for the 1930 Talbot 70 and later Talbot 75, both named after their top speed. For 1931 Roesch further developed the engine enlarging it to 2,969cc and creating the Talbot 105. The 1931 Le Mans 24hour race saw a Talbot 105 in 3rd place, with prizes on the Alpine Trial in 1931 and 1932. In 1935 Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq fell on hard times inspite of the good sales provided by the Roesch-designed cars, and was acquired by the Rootes brothers. 335 Talbot 105s were produced. A Talbot 110 was launched for 1936 with the engine enlarged to 3,377cc, but it was the swansong of the British Talbot and only 154 were sold.
