:''For cycle, motor-cycle, motor-car, aeroplane and airship companies associated with French industrialist Adolphe Clément-Bayard - see Clement (disambiguation).'' Clément-Talbot was an Anglo-French motor vehicle manufacturer based in Ladbroke Grove, London, that traded from 1902 for approximately one year, whence the cars became known as Talbots. After the division of Clément-Gladiator in 1903 Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 20th Earl of Shrewsbury headed the English arm "Clément-Talbot Ltd".〔(Motorbase, The complete encyclopedia of Vintage Cars – Rob de la Rive Box – Clément-Bayard )〕 Adolphe Clément-Bayard was a major shareholder in the company, along with Talbot, A. Lucas, and E. Lamberjack. After the split both marques ( Clément-Bayard and Clément-Talbot) built very similar cars, but by 1907 the specifications diverged.〔〔〔Gorges Roesch and the Invincible Talbot" by Anthony Blight〕 On 11 October 1902 Clément-Talbot was formally incorporated, and subsequently of land was purchased for a new factory in Ladbroke Grove, North Kensington in west London, between the Great Western Railway line and the 'Edinburgh road' before it was renamed 'Barlby road'. The factory was a high status operation whose brick workshops used the latest saw-tooth roof line, glazed to maximise natural light. It was equipped with the most modern machine tools and the reception area was laid out like a miniature palace, marble Ionic columns, gilded frescoes and stained glass windows etched with the Shrewsbury coat of arms. The building is now known as Ladbroke Hall.〔〔(Flickr, Description and image of Clément-Talbot works at Ladbroke Grove )〕 〔 The company traded as Clément-Talbot and the factory was titled Clément-Talbot, but after the first year of trading the cars were always known as Talbots.〔(France Classics – Clément-Bayard )〕〔〔〔(Chello Database of Motor manufacturers )〕〔(Motorbase, Clément )〕 〔(Unique cars, Founding fathers – Gustave Clément )〕 By 1903 a Clément-Talbot Type CT4K 18hp four cylinder was described as 'Coachwork by J.Rothschild et Fils, Paris' who had traded as Clément-Rothschild in 1902, coach-building on Panhard-Levassor chassis.〔(Bonhams. Lot 205, 1903 Clement-Talbot Type CT4K 18HP Four cylinder, 'Roi-D'Italie Tonneau )〕 ==See also== * Adolphe Clément-Bayard - Motor manufacturing - for a synopsis of the complex inter-relationships of the French and English motor industry at that time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clément-Talbot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
