Can anyone tell me more about this? I spotted it at Woerthersee last year but completely forgot until recently. Looks great with those headlamp covers, I assume they work like the Oriciari ones for Mk2 Golfs and slide behind the centre section, not sure. I couldn't find the owner at the time, and Google is drawing a complete blank. One off home build, or period coachbuilt affair? I'd love to know more...

It's funny, cool details make everything awesome. Not that a Talbot solara is not cool, the details make the design work so much better. It almost feels like it should be in a retrowave video

Id like to know who Nino Barrini is, if he's anyone. Either way its a cracking looking car, very period looking apart from the wheels. Like strikey said, they just don't work with the rest of the car.

Oh that’s lovely, just need an Alpine and Tagora version now. 👍 The Tagora looked almost right as was, the problem was the Pug 505 rear axle that gave it that odd looking narrow track. I assume it was a case of raiding the parts bin to save a few Francs. I saw this online, seems to be a proposed Tagora facelift, looking much more conventional/Peugeot.

I used to get a lift to work in one of these in the 80's , what a horrible rattly cheaply finished piece of cr*p.
Now, where can you get one..............

Needs a bigger hammer mate.......

Now then, if the Nino Barrini had THOSE wheels, I would have nothing to say. Except for split rim.

My dad bought a red 1.6 base model new in 1980, and we kept it until it rather spectacularly caught fire in front of the house and burnt to a literal crisp. i rather liked it, i've got a bit of a soft spot for talbot stuff as a result. I live just up the road from alton towers, which was the ancestral home of the talbots.

pseudonymous the Tagora s a car I’ve always wanted along with an urge to own a Chrysler 180, it must be the thrill of the chase. 😂

My grandad bought a special edition solara in 85 and loved it so much, he drove it to Malta when my grandparents retired there. It was black over silver graduated two tone and I only ever saw one other so might have been a very limited run?
