Bought mine in '95 or 6 from a friend in France who was getting divorced and he had bought from an old chap who had it from new. When I got hold of it it was a bit "Sort de la Grange" so needed a bit of TLC..new exhaust and overhaul of the hydraulics (a lot easier than people would have you believe) to get it's CT, but importantly no rust whatsoever. I regularly drove it from London to my place near Macon in one hit, lost count of how many times over the years and it never let me down. A superb long distance cruiser just wafting along in that big armchair... Could have done with AC in the summer though. Sold it for double what I had paid for it 5 yrs later after registering in UK.
