capsuleboy Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 So it happens occasionally, a Frenchman sells to a Brit! Its a perfect addition to the other R4's here at capsule towers. 1962 all original, up and running, although I will pick it up on a trailer as the last time I tried driving back the car ended up being recovered and we jumped ship and flew back from Limoges. Will keep you updated... Kringle, richardmorris, Jerzy Woking and 36 others 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kringle Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Oh my, it's fantastic I love it! I've never experienced one before but after seeing them everywhere on many Croatian islands I've hankered for one ever since. I would say dibs but I imagine it'd be worth a fair bit over here.

Don't think they got the giraffe door that early. That is lush - can't remember the last time I saw a van that early. Is it still 6 volt and 3 speed?

Likewise. On all my trips to Croatia, I am still surprised how many survive on the islands, surrounded by salty sea spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French cars now get a new-style reg when they're sold, so assume it must have changed hands within the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
