I used to have one of these in 1986

Does anyone know what make and model it is? Mine was the exact same. Registration number XTC 90V. I wished i still had it. They are worth a fortune now.

@OldBrit Yes. Thats the one. Ti version. VW came along and crippled it with the absolutely brilliant Golf GTI. then ford with the XRs. Vauxhall with GTEs. Then amazing and fast Peugeot 206 1.9gti. The race was on leaving the comparatively cr.p talbot in the dust.

@Perry1968 a neighbour who moved a few years ago had one in his garage he was "restoring". Never saw it on the road 😂

I had a Peugeot 206. Best car to drive I ever owned. Mine was a 2.0l hdi so not the real boy racer but still great car to drive.

@OldBrit Lol i had the 1.8 non turbo derv one. I loved it. Used to travel to bristol and back regularly in it. Great car. Had a 1.1 petrol version too. That 2.0 hdi was a cracking engine used in so many cars. Picasso. Peugeot 406 etc. And yeah the talbot 😆 Nice at the time but i was just 18. My fist car was a mk3 2 litre corrina. I paid £55 for it lol. Had the old pinto engine. Cams rsttling away but i drove it everywhere. Sh.t car though.

@Perry1968 at same time we had the 206 I had a 406 executive with same engine in.

My first car was a Hillman Avenger.

@OldBrit Yes those engines were great. And the Avenger. They were ok tbh. Better than the equivalent morris marina of the time.
