An evolution of the Louis Coatalen-designed Talbot 8/18, the Georges Roesch-revised 10/23 was introduced in 1923. Powered by an enlarged 1074cc version of its predecessor's innovative four-cylinder engine (complete with a three-bearing pressure-fed crankshaft, water pump, coil ignition and overhead valves) allied to three-speed manual transmission, the newcomer also gained a differential and effective four-shoe drum brakes for its rear axle. Bodied in-house by Darracq, the 10/23 sat on a quarter-elliptic leaf-sprung chassis with a 9ft of 9ft 4in wheelbase and could be had with 2-seater, 4-seater, coupe and saloon coachwork. Refined through L, T and Z configurations, the model's 2,800 sales saved the London-based firm from bankruptcy. Of the 5,460 Talbot 8/18, 10/23 and 12/30 light cars made between 1922-1926, the Talbot Owners' Club estimates that just 50 have survived.
