Just when I thought I'd seen everything in up-to-date, aerodynamic mini-bus designs, Talbot goes and springs a surprise like this.
I was leaving the Four Seasons Hotel in Altrincham the other day, after a pleasant lunch, when I bumped into the "concept" vehicle. A takeaway side door from Talbot was definitely a world scoop. Just think of the extra wide loads you would be able to get in, or the super-improved ventilation qualities the manufacturer would no doubt claim.
The hotel driver walked up as we were photographing the new machine and shattered the illusion.
"I've just brought a group of people back from Manchester airport," he said. "I opened the door and it fell off."
