A real piece of 70s/80s classic motoring...

Spotted a few days ago...

Talbot Tagora ??
Does the registration end 800W

Spot on!

And yes it does = now I am freaked out....

The bizarre thing is that they were not that common when new, and minutes after I saw that one, I saw another one

What a coincidence.
See picture here

Talbot always knew how to make a great looking car! When we were kids we had one of these!

Rancho

Only ours wasnt beige like this one it was two tone seaweed green and rust!

These were ok though .

In the 70' we are indoctrinated by this:
I never wanted a Talbot!

Ours definitely never did that, I seem to remember getting overtaken by lorries on motorways! but as it had 7 seats the very back seats where facing backwards we used to wave at all the lorries passing us!

Love the Matra. Would defo have one if somebody offered me one (mind you, I wouldn't pay for one! )

It invented the "Land Rover" stepped roof a decade before the discovery came along!

I was going to say its very reminiscent of the Discovery

Must be where landrover got their stying cues

Matra Rancho, more stable and controllable than a Nissan 280Z

Or was you trying to suggest something else? I didn't watch it all...

I that time that clown was popular on dutch tv. He always won from the bad guys

I was just a kid then, but then already did NOT like the talbot with his stupid yellow circles
