A few of us on here like a little French car

[philw696]

First car rebuilt project. 1 of 3 RHD models remaining on the road

Rarer than a F40

Unfair Matt as F40's have a habit of catching on fire

Watch this space...I am not known for my welding.

As you asked, the 14 was available in 3 trim levels:
TL
GTL
TS

the continent also had an LS that was TS with GTL interior.

Engines, 1.2 and 1.4 in the TS/LS and also in some of the later GTL’s

There was also a run out special edition called The Regency TS that had a sunroof and alloy wheels and came in burgundy with tan interior (UK only)

Anorak off

Another subject that you have anorak status in

That's nothing, you should have seen some of the race cars I drove in the 70's!

Think I’d rather take my chances with a piece of chromoly and a fuel tank than that Citroen, plus it’d be far less embarrassing than being in a 2CV.

Actually 2CV's drive very well, you Just need to keep the speed up, you just never brake

I remember doing a 24 hour around Snetterton in one of those things, it was great fun

Every hour you came in to change the cassette!

When shall I bring the ‘fourteen’ over Phil, I’ll buy you a slab of stinky cheese or some Somerset Brie, your choice.

All the skills your learning these days you need to know how to weld Matt.

any impact in practically any French car! I used to drive 205GTis on the rev limiter everywhere in the 80s and look back and consider how lucky I was not to hit anything! 875kg for a reason - thin tin!

The Ms has a Pug 108 when she bought it it was the best rated car in its class by NCAP. It’s a brilliant little car.
