	There was a brief participation in Formula One in the early eighties by associating with [[Ligier]] and using its Matra connection to secure a Matra engine for them, although the cars were known as Ligier-Matras and Talbot branding merely appeared on the car. This lasted two years and was moderately successful, [[Jacques Laffite]] coming third in the 1981 championship.

	During [[World War I]], the firm manufactured ambulances. The firm's French and British operations continued in separate, parallel production and marketing processes until 1919, when the British owned but Paris based [[Darracq]] took over the company. Darracq-made Talbot models were marketed as [[Talbot-Darracq]]s. The following year, Darracq was reorganised as part of the [[Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq]] (STD) conglomerate.

	In 1916 the Swiss-native [[Georges Roesch]] became chief engineer and in the early 1920's, Talbot built a number of successful models, including the ''14/45 hp'', or ''Talbot 105'', which was first built in 1926. In the 1930's, Roesch-designed Talbots enjoyed success in racing with the Fox & Nicholl team, with drivers including the Hon. Brian Lewis, Johnny Hindmarsh and [[John Cobb\|John Cobb]]. They were also highly successful in the Alpine Trial. The Roesch era is documented in great detail by Anthony Blight in his book "Georges Roesch And The Invincible Talbot" (Grenville Publishing, 1970).

	''Talbot'' was originally the ~~[[United Kingdom\|~~British]] brand name used to sell imported French [[Clément-Bayard]] cars. Founded in 1903, this business venture was financed by [[Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 20th Earl of Shrewsbury]], who lent his name to the firm. Starting in 1905, the company branded its imported cars as [[Clément-Talbot]] and began assembling French made parts at a new factory in [[North Kensington]], London, selling them under the name ''Talbot''. Locally designed cars followed from 1906 and by 1910 50 to 60 cars a month were being made. A Talbot was the first car to cover 100 miles (160 kilometres) in an hour in 1913.
