110113 is normally listed as being from 1947 (seems incorrect), while 110123 (in blue or silver) is shown as being a 1949.

Is the puzzle car from 1948?

(Thank you for posting the images.  I have never seen pictures of the 3rd T26 by Franay before)

There is a chance that 110113 had two different noses.  It is said that 3 T26's were built by Franay, but one of those was a convertible.  That leaves 110113 and 110123, with 110123 having many styling differences (nose, side, etc.).  The puzzle car only seems to differ from 110113 in the front.

I wish I had access to the $650 Talbot-Lago Grand Sport Book.  That would probably be able to solve this one.

What information are you looking for to call this puzzle solved?  A year?
