Talbot – other models: the collective page of vehicles outside the named ranges, around the 1100 Fourgonnette light van from Simca's legacy, four-cylinder engines of 1,100 to 1,299 cc, 847 to 1,050 kg unladen weight
This page gathers the Talbot vehicles the register could not assign to a named range – at its core the light-van version of the Simca 1100 as Commercial and Fourgonnette. The Simca 1100 arrived in 1967 as a front-wheel-drive compact hatchback and was from the start available alongside the saloon as a small van with a raised roof and load area. After Peugeot took over Simca's parent Chrysler Europe, the French models were sold from 1979 under the revived Talbot name, so the Simca 1100 and Talbot 1100 are identical vehicles under two brand names.

The register lists here 7 versions with four-cylinder engines of 1,100 to 1,299 cc, unladen weights from 847 to 1,050 kg, gross weights from 1,365 to 1,420 kg and widths from 1,500 to 1,590 mm.
The 1100 Fourgonnette served France's small-van segment for trades and retail alongside the Renault 4 Fourgonnette and Citroën AK/Acadiane, and its front-wheel drive and low load lip made it practical for inner-city use; with the rebrand to Talbot the range lost significance towards the end of production, before Peugeot's and Citroën's own successors took over the segment.
On used examples, rust on the sills, wheel arches and load floor, the condition of the clutch and water pump of the four-cylinder engines, and the rear leaf-spring suspension under load all count; parts are scarce and run mainly through Simca/Talbot specialists and classic-car parts markets.
