HISTORY:
A visitor informed me about this car as he saw this model was missing here at that time. It was bought by a chief inspector in the French tax, he used it until 1980, about 3 years. This old man confessed to having not payed the tax discs because of his job (French tradition!). He kept the 2 last ones on the windscreen in 1981 and 1982 without using the car.
They bought the car in order to move from their all life home, but the old lady changed her mind. He told me that he was so angry that he never opened the trunk.
After 25 years inside its dry and temperate garage of Brignoles (Var), it climbed upon to my trailer in direction of the museum. It just needed to change the drive-belt, the hydraulic pump membrane and the exhaust pipes. It works perfectly now and smells inside as the first day.
