It was badged Simca in 1978-79, Simca-Talbot in 1980 and Talbot in 1981+

Early ones (1978-79) were badged as Simca, 1980+ as Talbot. Don't think there's a way to tell from here..
English Wikipedia says that they were sold as Chrysler in Europe (excluding France where it was sold as Simca) but I instead recall them as Simca (or Chrysler Simca) in nearly whole Europe and Chrysler just in UK :think: I think here had Simca Chrysler double branding in 1978-79, Simca Talbot in 1980 and just Talbot since 1981.

Nice breakdown of trims here, with many pictures: https://iruggentianni7080.forumfree.it/m/?t=63799213
(based on Italian trims)

Edit: Alex was faster :D

:lol:

can't tell for them, but did in a 2002 Daewoo Lanos ( my Mazda Protegé was a year older, had twice the milleage and was still running like new compared to it )

No, there weren't sporty versions, bigger motor was the 1.6 with 92hp and yes, the 200 kmh speedometer was pretty optimistic :lol:
