Four wheel power disc brakes and 16" Dayton wire wheels are also standard. The entire exhaust system is all stainless steel and headers have a lifetime metallic ceramic coating.

There is full instrumentation, a Sony CD player, AM/FM receiver, 4-way Infinity speakers, air conditioning and heat, power door locks and power seats with adjustable lumbar, Mota Lita wood steering wheel. Head room and leg room are supervising ample. The headliner is wool broadcloth and dash seats and doors are accented with hand carved mahogany wood.

The exterior of the Talbo is finished with the worlds finest base coat-clear coast paint, Glasurit, and hand glazed. An extraordinary amount of time and expense have gone into recreating the exterior appointments. The grill, splash guards, door handles etc., are all handcrafted stainless steel polished to a brilliant luster. The interior is completed with extensive hand-carved teak woodwork.

This Tablo Series I is the first of the limited production models built by TLC Carrossiers Inc based in West Palm Beach, Florida. Cosmetically this car is virtually spotless, only a few slight paint chips on the driver?s side rocker panel. This information was provided by TLC Carrossiers.
