Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Firebird / MGF / Mini / Renault Vel Satis / Renault 4 / 2CV

an eclectic mix

The mini is ace but the Vel Satis is the best among that lot. So cool.

Edit: isn't it an Avantime? Which are even cooler...

Renault 4

In France in a couple of weeks, on the, secret, lookout for one of these.

Avantime?

I think it is. I stand corrected

I have a 2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0l turbo, that I could sell for a forum friendly price. It's been fantastic. Easy around town, nippy and shockingly refined as a motorway cruiser too. Let me know if you're interested.

You really should have said, have a few contacts made around southern Paris and other areas.

There was more, including a vintage Citroën fire engine.

First registered January 1991.

My friend has one. She absolutely loves it. Her partner hates it and much prefers his modern Nissan.

There do seem to be more American cars and trucks in France.

More the mundane ones rather that the classics. Often wondered why you'd want a big petrol gas guzzler in France.

Pictures to be afraid of.

Gorgeous- looks like it has proper Michelin xvs-p tyres too. £1k for 4 if you please!

does anyone know who can do aftermarket air con install?

sweet. Work with a guy who has a 1992. Hoping to take it for a spin soon

superb

glorious!

What a beauty!

Sweet little astros stripe.

What in?

To expand on that - if it's something modern and common I'd sell whatever it is and get a version with Aircon as it will be far cheaper and far faster. Retrofitting Aircon to a modern car would cost a fortune and at the same time hammer its resale value.

If it's a classic that you want to retrofit a Vintage Air system to then it depends on what it is as you'd want to go to a specialist who knows that make.

tourneo connect
