The high- speed crash test on these is interesting...

Looks to me that the cable was attached to the rear of the car, hence why the  car folds in half. Also that was a 50mph crash, very rare for cars to be tested at that speed. I think some moderns would look quite bad after a 50mph crash into a solid block.

I remember seeing some 1990s cars being tested to the modern NCAP standards & ending up as crumpled wrecks.

Objection M' Lord. That is not London. The rear window on the bus is not of a shape known in London. Nether is the bus stop.

Soz. You'll have to argue with the internet though,  I just blindly followed what it said. Which shows what an idiot I am.

Further research suggests it's actually Birmingham, 1947.

Total production of 1.4 million Arondes and France's top selling car in 1956. A few turn up at French car shows - they have quite an enthusiastic following - but relatively unknown in the UK.
