Group B Rally Peugeot Talbot Samba *GIANT KILLER*

[@vintageman91]

Also in the early 80s, likely between 80 and 83 they experimented with a mid engined Talbot Horizon to potentially replace the group 4 Sunbeam but the 205 t16 came instead.

Thank you for really showing the insides of such a valuable piece of racing history!

[@byronmills5952]

Tuned up Sambas Rallyes were awesome bits of kit - my chum had an 8 port 1219 Samba back in the early 90s - a fabulous bit of kit - you could fling it everywhere and anywhere! 👍

[@butterfliesandtape]

Brill brill brill. Top Samba ❤

[@johnrowell942]

Great video and learn more about Group B rally cars. Look forward to seeing more

[@hardyherrmann4154]

I have 3 Samba Cariolets.....these little things make a lot of fun to drive but the situation to get parts is a real challenge - nevertheless, I can imagine how this little beast goes with it's weight to Power ratio 🙂Greetings from Germany

[@EndeavorsDnB]

Love these little rally buggers.

[@ScottishTouge]

The 3 lug wheels are super cool

[@cogboy302]

3 stud wheels were a thing on French cars back in the day. Citroen ran 3 stud hubs on lots of stuff.

[@andybegbie8553]

Hopefully you'll let us know in advance what & where the events are. I'm a massive gpB fan & would love to come & see it. Great video 👍

[@jaimemorenopozuelo9884]

It good to see this car back in the road but also a bit of shame a piece of the spanish championship is not anymore in Spain. At least it keeps original 1984 Madrid number plates

[@mitchlupo3l]

I had one of these way back in red built by LAD motorsport in morecambe , it was a little flyer , I found one behind a house in Tenerife last year on a walk no one around to chat to

[@aussietruckphotosandmodels8510]

That's a gem. You'll have great fun with that one. I noticed it's set up for tar, what would it be like on gravel? Just under 700kg's, ally roll cage, with a single point of contact at the rear, probably wouldn't do to much in a big bang , if you put a car like that together today it wouldn't get past tec inspection. Why did they run it at 1219? and not bore it to 1297 ish

[@paullacey2999]

Havent seen Samba for years!But then Ive not seen a Talbot of any sort either....

[@tezy0193]

this thing looks like what would come out when a vw golf 1 and a opel corsa A had a baby, lol

[@paulmcateer1595]

Back in 93 I was nearly killed in one of its badge engineered sisters, the Citroën LNA…

[@jermainegidden6390]

Wow looks good 🤩😎

[@mikespeedyfpv321]

Cool motor

[@mikespeedyfpv321]

One love 👊 🙏

[@gleng6812]

The Lad Driving not too good on the clutch... What a Dark Horse car though, I can't believe the content and uniquely different content you find. Absolutely out of the top drawer channel 👍👏👏

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

Appreciate that pal thank you!

[@andrewgardner9615]

Still got the aluminium roll cage?T16 brakes as some had?

[@dspencer8827]

Original engine albeit tuned up

[@neilmaguire5665]

Just noticed the wheels only have three wheel nuts is that for quickness?

[@theautomotivetrainer]

That is as standard, but TRX rims. Very rare Michelins to be used. Back in the days I did some rallyes with a Group N Samba Rallye. I have staring a lot on the Group B version. These cars were never real works cars, these were aimed at the satellite teams from importers (as I remember rather an obligation) and lange deslergroups.

[@granada012000]

3 stud wheels. Is that usual? I don't ever remember seeing any road going Talbot or Peugeot on 3 stud.

[@kevinjones3900]

The early Renault 5 had 3 studs.

[@blarno]

Citroën AX had 3 stud wheels on all but the GTi models.

[@byronmills5952]

Prior to 1984 most small to mid range Peugeot based cars ran on three stud wheels. The 205 was the first to run 4 studs.

[@gttonicvisa4986]

Like a Citroën visa mille pistes group b

[@gttonicvisa4986]

Like citroen visa 3 studs

[@adamrobson80]

It's a ugly little bugger in it I love it my fav group b

[@alexandermathar7780]

This could have been the way out of the 1986 disaster ! The Show could have gone albeit in the small 1.3 l class!

[@alexandermathar7780]

Man hätte sich nach den tödlichen Unfällen darauf einigen können/ müssen, sich auf die kleine 1.3 l Klasse zu beschränken Das wäre der Ausweg gewesen. Dann wäre Audi 1987 halt mit einem Allrad-Polo gefahren statt mit dem Quattro S1!

[@darrenmclean7454]

With respect id like to see the cars it competed against to get top 10 results in Group B Looks a cracking little car but Hyped up beyond it’s capabilities unless im proved wrong

[@iainburns4493]

Iv never even heard of a samba 🤷🏻‍♂️ it sure is ugly but damn does sound good on quad carbs 🎶🎶🎶

[@hansmatthia32]

It’s a 106/205 what a car not quiet a nova but close 😀

[@byronmills5952]

The precursor to the 205 - runs a rear trailing arm beam with a strut/shock set up. Much more predictable handling on the limit than the 205/106 torsion beam . Sambas and Novas were the staple of the up to 1300 clubmans class back in the day.
