RWD Master is a new one on me - as you say, I'd only previously seen RWD on the heavy-duty Iveco Daily-based versions.  Could be a 4x4 Dangel-style conversion I suppose.

Will take a look at my unedited photo to see if the stickers give any clue as to what it is.

I think these days when you re-register a car it's automatically issued with a new-style plate, even if it's staying within the same département.

I looked at the original photo and there was nothing immediately obvious. It'll have to remain a mystery, or maybe someday I'll see a similar one which will help work it out.

 

On the way home now, not really something to enjoy but at least finding more stuff livens up the journey a bit:

Have previously seen an Espero in France but never a Nexia.

 

 

These all at the same place, whether it was a repair/restoration specialist or just the premises of a collector I don't know. Shame I couldn't get a better shot of the CX, but pleasing to see three generations of big Citroen together.

Still looked to be used for work.

Tidy for an early-ish Mk3.

Funny to think this probably isn't very much older than the Transit, indeed possible that it is actually newer - Wikipedia says they remained in production until 1991.

Impressive lacquer peel.

 

These two at the same garage.

Another Millésime. Didn't realise at the time that le chat was watching me....

I'd seen this tidy 6 outside when we drove past on the way down, but didn't have time to stop. They also had a few other things.....

 

 

Not sure if it's a museum of sorts, one person's collection or storage for a group of enthusiasts, but there was certainly a good variety.

Looked solid for one of these.

Croma was the only thing of interest on the autoroute (on our side at least, I think there was a 504 and one or two others heading the opposite way).

 

 

Got slightly lost finding our way to the hotel, but if we hadn't have done I wouldn't have seen these.

That's it for 2024. Just over four weeks until this year's trip, heading quite a way down and staying within sight of Mont Ventoux. There was some good stuff to be seen last time we were down that way (2018), hopefully that'll still be the case this year.
