1931 Talbert 105 crewed by Mick Darcet (GB) and Steve Hutchinson (GB) competing in The 4th. Flying Scotsman Rally 2012 organized by The Endurance Rally Association passing through Kirton Holme Nr. Boston in Lincolnshire on the first day of the rally on Friday 20th. April. The Talbot 105 was a high powered sports car developed by Talbot designer Georges Roesch. It was famously fast, described by one authority as the fastest four-seater ever to race at Brooklands The car made its first appearance at the London Motor Show in 1926 At this stage it was formally named according to its actual horsepower as the Talbot 14-45. The six-cylinder engine displaced a volume of 1,665 cc and was the basis for all Talbot engines until the Rootes takeover in 1935 An increase in the engine capacity, still without any change to the exterior dimensions of the engine block, yielded a cylinder displacement of 2,969 cc for the iconic Talbot 105 model. In 1931 four 105s were tuned to provide a reported 119 bhp, at 4,800 rpm In "Brooklands trim" further tuning and in increased compression ratio of 10:1 gave rise to a claimed 125 bhp
