Addendum to the main three volume work. The addendum covers the discovery of the Baillon collection in France and provides further accounts of Sir John Gaul, Gijsbert-Paul Berk and more.

The Kellner Affair tells the fascinating story of how some of the most influential people in the French luxury car business before the War came together and fought bravely against the Nazi occupation force in Paris.

The book is a tribute to the incredible coachbuilt Talbot-Lago Grand Sport coupé chassis 110101 that was the undisputed star of the 1948 Paris Salon de l’Automobile. The Grand Sport was the greatest postwar French chassis, and Saoutchik was the greatest French coachbuilder in the postwar years. The exquisitely beautiful body which Saoutchik created for chassis 110101 is regarded as the most sensational and stunning of all postwar French coachbuilt bodies.
