bramz7 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I was about to say the same thing, but I am reasonably sure the only cars I have owned with differing manufactures for engine are Rovers and diesel Volvos. French stuff doesn't tend to venture elsewhere for engines..... Unless it's a Safrane with a Volvo engine, that would be a pretty cool buy. Unlikely mind.

That's more miles than my Jeep had done in the 5 years prior to my purchase and 200 mile drive home. Make sure you take some tools to twat the brakes if they're binding.
