lesapandre Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Not many 'old cars' driving about. Saw an old style Ami estate today and a Renault 4. Was followed by an enthusiastically driven 2CV on a curvy hilly road - he kept up easily with plentiful body roll. This at the hypermarche.

lesapandre Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Came across a small car show. Unusual to see a Consul in France. A lot of the paint was original- the colour match to the repaint was a lot better than the camera shows.

Spottedlaurel Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 That Consul is such an odd thing to see in France. Enjoying the pic's, I should be seeing the same sort of thing in a couple of months. Hope all is going well with the car this time. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time there wouldn't have been that many similar sized French cars, the Peugeot 404 & Simca 1300 are the only ones that come to mind. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two new tyres sorted the puncture problems - so no more drama this trip...so far. Lots of these 106 keeping going. This is a 'Cartoon' special edition - the seat fabric even has cartoons on it...
