Looks like the days after the Wall came down.

Note how the other side of the road is empty as the Ossi streamed West.

They wandered about for a few days looking lost, then started to drift home.

 

Normal smoke levels for Trabant's 50:1 mix of old sock oil and Ossi "petrol" .

Protesting against ULEZ the best way they can.

Whilst looking i noticed the file is called 'Tagora crash test' but they didnt make those with V - engines, or did they put a V6 in them?,  so anyone want to confirm/deny?

They did put a version of the PRV V6 in the Tagora, but not many were made - not sure we ever had them in the UK.

1,083 V6 Tagora models were made

Back then, whenever it was, I was working at a car hire company.   Alongside the usual Fords, we had Horizons and Alpines.  The Talbot rep. used to visit, and try to sell us more of these things.  The forthcoming new secret luxury model was talked about and was referred to as the "Savoy."  Just a code name I guess, never heard it elsewhere, but I was a bit disappointed when it appeared as Tagora.

I think my local depot is still using those...

You jest but our office still has a couple of pogweasled 08 reg Combos (Corsa C shape). They dragged them off the scrap pile during covid when we needed more vans (as we weren't allowed to share) but for some reason these two stayed.
