On the Surface: This 1986 Talbot Samba Style is a rare, low-mileage example, presented in Grey over a Red cloth interior. With just 22,980 miles from new, the car retains all of its original panels and has never been resprayed or welded. It features a desirable sunroof and is equipped with the original dealer tax disc holder, rear window sticker, and front number plate—details that showcase its authenticity.

Maintenance & History: Having been dry stored in a garage between 2008 and 2023, the car was recently recommissioned. This included a thorough brake overhaul, with new front flexi hoses and calipers, a new fuel pump and pipes, an oil and filter change, new spark plugs, and a set of four new tyres. It comes with a comprehensive Peugeot-Talbot bookpack, featuring the Owner’s Guide, Maintenance and Warranty book, a Peugeot-Talbot dealer location map, and the Instruction Book. The service history is well-documented with four stamps, with the most recent one in 2024. This Talbot Samba Style has had just one former keeper, with the first owner holding onto the car until exiting storage in 2023. The car’s mileage is verifiable, thanks to a combination of its service records, MOT history, and low ownership.

The Model: The Talbot Samba is a compact city car, produced by the PSA Group between 1981 and 1986. Manufactured in the historic Simca factory in Poissy, France, the Samba is one of the last models to bear the Talbot name.

Sale Insight: With just one former owner this Talbot Samba Style is an excellent candidate for collectors or enthusiasts of classic French cars. Its well-preserved condition and original features make it a standout example.
