Talk:Simca 1307
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is it really visually identical to the Moskvich Aleko? It's similar, but definitely not identical.
I've just tweaked a paragraph from this:
- The manufacturing of 1510, Alpine and Solara, along with the smaller Horizon, ended at the beginning of 1985. In the United Kingdom they were rebadged as the Rapier and Minx (names sourced from the days of the Rootes Group), which were badged depending on trim level rather than bodystyle. Production of these models was limited and by the end of 1986 the range stopped production completely, as Peugeot scrapped the Talbot marque on passenger cars.
to this:
- French manufacturing of 1510, Alpine and Solara, along with the smaller Horizon, ended in 1985. In the United Kingdom the last cars were rebadged as the Rapier and Minx which were badged depending on trim level rather than bodystyle. The names were sourced from the corporate ancestor of Chrysler Europe, the Rootes Group, having been used on the Sunbeam Rapier and Hillman Minx. Supply of these models was limited and by the end of 1986 the range disappeared completely, as Peugeot scrapped the Talbot marque on passenger cars.
The reason being, we need to clarify: did French production stop before British production, or did they stop together, with British ex-stock cars being rebadged and sold long after production had ceased? I've changed the words to remove the ambiguity, but now there are some facts simply not covered. – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 23:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
We could do with a picture of the vehicle for those of us unsure of what it looks like.
Some guy.
