Looks nice enough. ::)
What is the surprise?
-
I am the first to put my 600 Euro on the table Jean-do.
Now we just need to find a way of getting it back to England at my expense.
It will look very good next to my other Sans Permis cars.
-
VSP ? voiture sans permis ? looks like comtesse big brother - ideal companion
-
A very nice machine and if your collecting, why would you not have it. Cannot help with logistics I am afraid but why not make a holiday out of it. A week driving in France. Great. Mind you they are all on holiday shortly so everything goes nuts.
-
A bargain. Knowing Rondeau, it's probably very quick on a long straight. :)
-
The DX has arrived in the UK.
It is a really interesting little car. Front wheel drive and very well engineered.
Thank you very much Jean-Do for your patience.
Thank you Nick for getting it to me. Good to meet you at last. Cheers!
-

Ohh! That's a scary photo! :D
-
It was niceto meet Jean-do and Barry at last. Shame we couldn't have spent more time talking with them. Nick.

The question that keeps occurring to me is: where did that windscreen come from? My guess is that it was the rear screen from a small coupé (Alpine 110?).
-
as i said to nick, this windscreen is glass, and made specially for it .
microcar was built by Jeanneau famous luxury yacht builder in atlantic sea in France , helped with Jean Rondeau, le mans winner in 1982 with his own prototype race car ...
that surely why they didn't get windscreen other makers .
and in 1985 no more a 100 on raods and spare parts
