I had wondered what had happened to this one! Top spec for 1980. Would be nice to see it on the road again in any shape or form. Early Talbot badged one on a V plate as well.

It would have been a nice car.... I really like the interior! Shame its been so badly bodged body-wise, and I think vandalised too. Far too many dents around the driver's side. Would love to do a fun ratty project with it if its feasible. Have you got one too Talbotman?

Not currently,but I do have an Alpine stashed away for a rainy day :-) Having grown up around the Chrysler Talbot range of cars and have owned ironically all of the model range including a Tagora over the years, a Horizon has never crossed my ownership path. My neighbour back in 1978 had a brand new black Gls the day they came out. Much misunderstood cars. This would make a great extreme opposite to your Orange one!

Nice one! How was Tagora ownership? Awesome looking cars!
Horizon has always been by far my fave of the range. They have brittle areas, and were never very well rust proofed, but apart from that, they are actually a lot more advanced and nicer to live with than most would expect!

All that needs is lowering and wheels! It's been naturally "aged" by the weather and an OAP owner!

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Nice one! How was Tagora ownership?
Tagora ownership was brief,but it drive absolutely beautifully in a wafty confortable type manner.All it's underpinnings were effectively Peugeot 504/5 so it had very good road manners. Having the rear suspension from the 505 also led to having horribly rotten rear trailing arms which sadly led to its demise.

Great to see you've got your hands on this one. There's a chap on the beige forum who was talking about buying it, but it obviously never came to fruition. You definitely need to try and get the old girl back on the road, rat look but layered in Waxoil Had to share a photo of the speedo I spotted on Flickr!

I love the steering wheel !!!

I had a speedo like that in an Alpine many many moons ago! Perhaps the curved needle was a factory optional extra lol! Look forward to seeing a few updates as this little project goes on!

My Citroen Visa had a needle like that too. Must be a French thing....
