jvbcv8 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I notice that your car has a Coventry and Warwickshire registration. That means there's quite a good chance it started out life on the Talbot Ryton factory fleet. Do you have history for the car ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minolman Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nice. I bought a luxury Tagora brochure on a stall at the NEC last weekend, and a Solara one. Always fancied a Talbot since our local town had a dealership when I was growing up. Don't think I want something with so complex carbs tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TagoraSX Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 UPDAET. As the Rover is almost done the time has come to tackle the Tagora I found some rust free doors in France last year thanks to a very helpful fellow Tagora owner. I also found an NOS bonnet and boot lid. Work began this week. Rear window with added rust. worldofceri, CGSB, Junkman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TagoraSX Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Front scuttle panel. Look at my Beautiful floors! I was expecting much worse.

TagoraSX Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Both sides of the rear scuttle panel had completely rotted away and were a little awkward to repair.A picture kindly supplied by Pshome was a big help.

Dick Longbridge Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I like the way the Tagora munched through its own VIN number. Cheeky bugger. Looking nice and solid now though - great to see the beast looking like it's getting close to tarmac again. Any ideas where the photo of it next to a harbour was taken? Looks a little Cornish, but probably miles away! flat4alfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TagoraSX Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 A small update.The bottom half of the car had several coats of paint over the years, all of them slightly different. The air filter cover and rocker cover were chemically stripped ready for paint. NorfolkNWeigh, Skizzer, Jim Bergerac and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
