Description
1986 Talbot Samba Cabriolet
Reg. no. C118 YDU
Chassis no. VF451E642FP172111
Engine no. FP172111
‘Although more than 270,000Talbot Sambas were sold between 1982 and 1986, only around 100 remain in the UK’. This startling statistic was the opening line of an article in Classic Car Buyer (October 9th 2013) where this unusual and now obviously rare motor car was featured. The Samba is unique in that it was the only car to be produced under the Talbot era but as a stand-alone brand it was not a success. Eventually the Talbot arm of the PSA was merged into the Peugeot branch of the company. The Samba was based on the short version of the Peugeot 104 floor pan mainly so the company could share development costs where possible. The Samba went on sale in February 1982 with three models offered, each with increasing levels of trim. From 1982 the Samba’s appeal was widened by the introduction of a cabriolet which was designed and built by Pininfarina. This model was only available with the 1,360cc engine and over 13,000 cabriolets were built, of which this is one. This example has had a great deal of money lavished on it over the years by its earlier private collector. There isn’t any rust or corrosion anywhere and is as good underneath as it is on top. We are advised that the speedometer isn’t working at present; however the remainder of the car is excellent throughout. The Samba is sold with a V5c, a current MOT that expires in August, an instruction book and a service book.
