Being RHD probably narrows down the list of places it would have been made as a CKD kit and then assembled elsewhere.
BTW, the Talbot Horizon was by some distance the worst and most dangerous car that I have driven in my life. Admittedly the example I had as a company car did have a braking fault, but the dealer could not fix it and kept sending it back with the same fault.
I bought one of those at auction, it was immaculate but the brake disks and pads wore off in a few months, I tried to get new disks from the dealer but couldn't get a match despite there being no alternative listed.
I found out through a mate at the works in Coventry that they had fitted anything that was to hand when there was a strike at the French supplier, what was on the car was actually Renault nine front brakes that weren't adequate for the car.
I fitted it up with the proper brakes from a breakers yard but it wasn't an easy fix.
