Guess my new car ?
- Thread starter commerchris
- Start date
Although perfectly formed, does an MX5 count as 'small' ?
BTW : I'm liking the RAC's new uniform
The pic also reminds me of albums I used to buy from Woolworths in the 70's (both now sorely missed )

These were already a classic even in their day, nice one Chris !
I've always wondered about the 205 whether there was any even minor 'carry over' from any Rootes designs ...
As it's always looked to me like a much less squared off version of the Talbot Samba ! But there again I'm not even sure whether there was any Rootes input into car that either.
Although wasn't the Talbot Sunbeam essentially a belatedly hatchback(ish) based on the Hillman Avenger running gear ?

Congratulations, nice little car.
I had one a couple of years ago to teach my son to drive - base model with 1 litre engine and no frills. I enjoyed it so much I used to drive it everywhere. Eventually sold it to a girl at work as her first car. She loves it and it is still going strong with no rust at 20 years old. My other son is now learning and I've got a 9 year old 106. It's the newest car in our family. [^]
What model have you got? Is it one with GTI style seats? If so, I have a complete foam insert for the seat as the bolsters tend to collapse with age. You would be welcome to it if it is of any use to you.

The original was the Chrysler Sunbeam which was indeed based on a shortened Avenger floorpan. This became the Talbot Sunbeam when Chrysler sold its European business to the French.
Some say that the Pug 1360 engine owes its basic design to the Coventry Climax derived Imp engine although I'm not convinced.
Cracking little cars though, shame they're front wheel drive.......
If I told you I was a pathological liar, would you believe me?
