I think you'll be waiting a long time, Tagoras in the UK are rarer than the proverbial rocking-horse droppings, however if you want to lust over a field full of immaculate examples, come to the Simca Matra Talbot international meeting at Beaulieu on 11-13th July 2014.

I might just do that if I can wangle some time off so close to the end of the working year. Yes, I really would do a 680 mile round trip to look at a Talbot Tagora or two, even if their steering wheels are in the wrong place.

Rich, I'm not afraid of LHD, indeed I've owned around half a dozen LHD cars among the many (91 and quantity subject to upward fluctuation ) vehicles that have been registered in my name since I passed my car test in 1981. But I do like a challenge sometimes. Indeed I actively sought out a LHD Reliant kitten once, only because nobody else had one in the UK at that time.

good lad!!

One of these days I'll find a genuine, unrestored and rot-free RHD Tagora Diesel auto in the UK

Ho so very funny John - Back in the very early 80's I worked in a Talbot / Fiat main dealership - both were as bad as each other with Tagora's & 131's being treated to extensive paint / body retifaction as part of the PDI process - we were doing complete repaints on brand new cars that just had come off the transporter fresh from the factory The Alpines were not that much better either

Oh ye of little faith! Autoshite members occasionally dig them up among the slightly less rare Polski-Fiat 125Ps and Simca 1301s so I'm certain that somewhere, there's one awaiting my discovery of it.

you are the eternal optimist... you live the dream....

I like that three wheeled moped thing, but what is the white blotchy bit - that someone's added to the picture with editing software - hiding? Maybe there's a naked woman beside the car?

is it that fan of automotive oddities ms friel?
