Well I went down to my mate's garage the other day to do some work on the Passat and this was sat on a ramp. There for a fuel leak and a service I think.
Now you don't see many of these on the road nowadays. 26,000mls from new and must never have seen rain or else it'd have rotted away in a fortnight.

It's a lad's first car after passing his test that his grandad has given him. Now I know we all have to start somewhere etc. but I doubt he'll get a year's NCB before it's a lump of oxide beside the road.
It's a minter (if these words can be used to discribe a Talbot Samba) and best of British to the lad.
Anyway thought I'd post it up for the "Oooo my mum had one of those" crew.

I agree that it should be saved but I doubt it will be (note it'd rained).
Regarding it being a turd... well maybe not at the time but it was the last of the older British cars that was soon out dated by the Metro and Civic etc.
I'd have rather had the Lotus Horizon
P.s just noticed the Talbot mudflaps too. Probably near enough as it came out of the dealers.
