Launched in 1975 as the Simca 1307 in France and the Chrysler Alpine in Britain, this front-wheel-drive five-door hatchback was European Car of the Year for 1976. When Peugeot bought Chrysler's European arm in 1978 it revived the old Talbot name, and the Alpine wore that badge from 1979 until the mid 1980s.
