    The Talbot Samba is a city car manufactured by the PSA Group in the former Simca factory in Poissy, France, and marketed under the short-lived modern-day Talbot brand from 1981 to 1986. Based on the Peugeot 104, it was the only Talbot not inherited from Chrysler Europe, engineered by PSA alone. It was also the last new Talbot to be launched. Its demise in 1986 was effectively the end of the Talbot brand for passenger cars. Launched initially as a three-door hatchback, it was also for some time the only small car available in a factory-ordered cabrio body style, and the most economical car in Europe.

    Is that the only (and correct) way you can open the soft top?

    I was going to remark that those three-spoke alloys would be quite popular among the Radwood set, until I noticed the French reverting to type and using three-lug wheels. By this point in the '80s, I think the only three-lug cars being manufactured were this car's PSa/Chrysler Europe brethren, the 2CV, and the Renault 5 (LeCar). Does anyone know of any other cars that persisted with this configuration?
