Interesting Facts About the Talbot Tagora C9
The Talbot Tagora C9 was introduced by PSA in 1980 and entered the market in 1981. Produced only until 1983, roughly 20,000 units were built, making it a rare example of a semi‑large luxury sedan from the early 1980s.

Short‑Lived Production Run (1980‑1983)
The Tagora was launched in 1980 and commercially released in 1981, but PSA pulled the model after just four years, ending production in 1983. Only about 20,000 cars were built, and sales fell short of expectations, earning the model a reputation as an automotive disappointment.
Project C9 Origins and Mixed Engineering Heritage
Work on Project C9 began in 1976 when Chrysler Europe sought a replacement for its slow‑selling 180 and 2‑litre models. After Peugeot took over, the Tagora combined Peugeot and Chrysler engineering, resulting in an unusual mix of parts and design philosophies.
Unique Design Touches and Rarity
The Tagora was initially styled in the UK, featuring distinctive details such as headlights and a license‑plate mounted behind a glass panel at the front. Because it used many Peugeot catalogue components, finding spare parts today is harder than locating the car itself, especially the rare 2.6 SX versions.
