Check out my fortnightly run to the local dump. Search Talbot Alpine 1.3LS and you should find it.

@Shrimpkin74 i was in the chrysler workshops ( southern england) late seventies, early eighties when peugeot joined chrisler and ended up being called talbot. preparing new horisons and alpines sunbeams(avenger based) 180 and 2l and ranchos these cars had no citroen influence,the citroen,s were aircooled back in them days with hydraulic susp. the alpines , horisons, solaras and ranchos were infact simca based using simca engines, gearbox (horrid) and suspension nothing citroen, lots of simca

In 78 Peugeot Citroen sa bought chrysler france, spain and uk, leading to the creation of the Simca Horizon and Citroen Visa mk 1.

@gilessmokey Sorry but Peugeot took over Citroen back in 1976, if you look at the 104z, samba and lna! says everything, I owned all of those cars and all had the citroen, peugeot talbot logo the parts, ie: pickle jar expansion tank, my 3 horizons, solara and alpine had the same. Citroen phased out the lna in 86 same take as the Talbot company wound down their operations the last Talbot you could find in the uk was an 86 D plate.

@Shrimpkin74 no citroen bach in them days, it was peugeot talbot.

Nowadays is Dacia under supervision by Renault the contender for a lowcost brand.

Funny to think that now Citroen is to Peugeot what Talbot used to be - their cheap brand with the 0% finance offers etc. It undervalues them really - and despite the strapline that the C4 is "bristling with technology" - it's no DS.

A similar car to the Talbot Horizon was manufactured in the USA. Called the Plymouth Horizon, it was the first domestically assembled front drive car in the US. Despite the same appearance, the mechanicals were completely different.

The Peugeot-Talbot-Citroen company made great, original cars back then, you're to ickkle to remember this.
