1937 Talbot-Lago T150 C SS
These days, collector-quality model cars tend to be based on specific examples, so it’s slightly odd that CMC seems to have combined the features of several separate examples for its latest release – particularly since these Figoni et Falaschi ‘teardrop’ coupés were all so individual. Not that it really detracts from such a stunning model, which is fully up to CMC’s usual incredible quality. Assembled from almost 1500 parts, it includes full interior, engine and chassis detail; bonnet, boot and doors also open and shut with exquisite precision. It’s a jewel.
