But despite loads of oddment space, there's precious little room behind the rear seats.

Take an oddment of a floor panel and place it in front of the door frame.

Oddment space is also to the point of being able to play on-board hide and seek.
|
|
There is plenty oddment storage space and separate warning buzzers if you leave on headlights or rear fogs.

The interior lacks oddment space though and for some baffling reason cup holders don't appear to be standard.

In it, I correct him about a 1964 Marvel oddment and prove that there's nothing too trivial for some of us comic buffs.

He jotted down the errors the catalogue had, marked the books he wanted, and delighted himself in general with an oddment of lists.

It is well built, with plenty of gizmos, including cupholders in the rear seats and oddment holders, like the one for your sunglasses.

Behind you, in the Piazza Marina, a shambolic Sunday flea market offers every unwanted knickknack and oddment you ever yearned to throw away, plus, of course, a few priceless treasures.

I know what he means by features – the mesh on the seats, the padded square that stood for a handbrake, the oddment stowage – but I never got to the bottom of what he meant by stuff.

However some of the old components from the earlier locomotives were reused. A trial of 20 locomotives was produced, and resulted in eventually 108 locomotives of the being built in total. The first locomotives were constructed between 1984–5 and were numbered 319.201 to 319.220, these had three windows in the front of the cabin, and as a result got the nickname Retales (meaning 'patchwork' from retal a scrap, piece or oddment). Most were painted in grey/blue/yellow colour scheme, and later received the grey/yellow 'Taxi' colour scheme.

Oddment accommodation was "disappointment". Lacking a self-setting stay, opening the bonnet was "heavy work" and the boot, while large, had the demerit of an "unusual" locking method: "[the boot] is locked before being shut by pushing in a red handle set in the inside of the lid". In summary, the main competencies of the Tagora were its spacious cabin (though it was not class-leading), its comfortable seating, its fuel economy (in 2.2 GLS form) and the size of its luggage compartment (572 litres). But the fact that a car launched in 1974, the Volvo 244 GLE, could offer better seats, disc brakes all round, better headlights, better ventilation and better handling for only slightly more than Talbot was charging for their car indicated that the Tagora had come to market with a vehicle that was uncompetitive in too many major respects.
