I had a Talbot Horizon which was very comfortable, reasonably quick with the Simca derived 1.3 litre engine which readily accepted a twin choke Weber carburettor complementing the 5 speed gearbox. It was however a total rot box and disintegrated around me. Read more

As an ex owner of four from a 1970 model to the last 1979 model, I fully agree it was a far better car than many folk would admit. So much better than any of my father's Ford Cortinas mark's 1-5.
So many of us previous Maxi owners went on to buy several while they were in production for a decent period. Read more
I totally agree that it was an excellent car. Five gears when the Cortina 1600E had only four.
I owned 2 of them, both 1750cc. They both took us to Barcelona and back. The second time with our 12 year old daughter. This particular one didn't want to come back. The condenser on the distributor had failed, but fortunately I happened to have a spare on board.
Really fond memories of them. Had they only had the funds to develop the model, that the other companies then copied. The hatchback being the sought after purchase of the future.
Where is the vehicle now please, assuming it's still for sale?

I love the Brightwells sales, they always have such an amazing collection of cars, from the sublime (Facel Vega - yes please!) to the ridiculous (Austin Maxi - no thanks) and the catalogue descriptions are really interesting and often quite amusing. A nice change from the stuffy London lot and they get some really good prices too. Read more
