Talbot Solara Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1980–1986) — First Generation
When choosing a first-generation Talbot Solara, consider how its engine and gearbox suit your usual journeys. On an older car, smooth running and easy gear changes matter as much as the specification.
The 1.3 MT is one Talbot Solara engine option, combining gasoline power with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive. You select the gears yourself, so changing down on a climb or before accelerating can help you make better use of the engine’s available power.
