Edd's Talbot Samba Thread

[Talbot]

I think there's three or maybe 3.5 Horizon LD left and I know who owns all but one!

Do you think one of the owners would let me have a go?

Looking good edd. Keep the faith.

[Ghosty]

Your old Samba Style was in the 'interesting car parking but not exhibiting' bit at this year's Chumley!

[Faker]

Edd have you any more info on the cheetahs?

[SambaS]

I have a brochure from Charters of Aldershot who made it... based on the S with webbers and optional wide arches.

 

Small update regarding the Sambas..

 

Cant even remember how to upload photos grr.

 

 

 

The Samba Roller is next in queue for MOT but I keep doing daft things like going to Dubai and Hong Kong and buying other cars. Once we return from Bulgaria I should be able to progress the Roller. It now starts and stops and can be driven on the road to its MOT whenever I book it!!

Nice to see you back. That's some time to answer a query! Give my regards to Bulgaria. Must be painfully hot over there at the moment...

Welding looks fantastic. Still dribbling over the red Horizon; the Samba floppytop’s a bonny looking little thing, too.

Wow! I didn’t even know the samba existeduntil reading this thread. Love the Horizon aswell.

Not a samba I know but spotted this lovely 104 in France last year. Even these are rare in France (this is the second one I’ve ever seen) so I’d imagine Sambas are very hard to come by

Good god do i own this many cars I thought I was doing well at getting rid 😅😅😅😅

 

I finished the Samba Roller then sold it then bought it back a year later broken with a half fitted 1.4 engine.

The red cabriolet came back as above and is still in storage waiting its turn for an MOT.

Jack's white cabriolet still in storage waiting its turn for an MOT and Jack living in S. Korea

SambaS has found a Samba S

Purchase agreed, just arranging transport.

Little tricky as I'm living in Bulgaria, and working as an International Truck Driver in Germany
