Registered in April 1984, this Baltic Blue Talbot Horizon LS is a rare automatic example, possibly the only automatic LS ever made according to the vendor. Only around 60 Horizons are now left on UK roads according to the representative club. It was previously owned by a Talbot enthusiast who looked after it well, but has been out of use for a year although the vendor doesn't know of any faults and it does run and drive. The 1442cc car is showing 32,962 miles on its odometer, which is believed genuine as the car was unused for around 15 years. Its last MoT expired in August 2023. However, as from April of 2025, the Talbot will be able to be registered as an historic vehicle and be tax- and MoT-exempt. Five registered keepers are noted on the V5C. The car was originally used by Talbot as a test-bed for power steering, so has it fitted - something that wasn't an option on other LS variants.
The history folder includes the V5C, some invoices, sales brochures, a magazine feature and even a copy of the programme from the Peugeot Talbot Games at Crystal Palace in July 1984! There are MoT certificates dating from 2006, 2008, 2009, 2021 and 2022 plus the owner's handbook and service book, which is stamped up to 3391 miles in April 1988.
