oldcar Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) The people who follow my thread on Our Cars & Restorations are currently trying to identify the replacement for the Renault. It is French too and alsolutely original Bj. Edited June 11, 2016 by oldcar (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcar Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 The Restoration of the 1924 Amilcar CC is progressing with 90% of the paint removed and the wheels being sandblasted. You can (if you are the least bit interested) follow the restoration on "Our cars and restoration projects. Bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) We have, in the past, enjoyed owning, tinkering with, and driving the hell out of just about every example of Citroen; from 1967 DS-21 and the '67 Pallas, to a matching pair of 1971 D-21 Station Wagons, a 1972 SM, 1964 2-CV, '68 Ami, 11-CV, 15-CV, Dyane, Mehari ... and a lonely 1958 Renault Dauphine which lost the engine late one night on my way back to Linden, NJ after a weekend gig with my band at one of the resort hotels in New York's Catskill Mountains Borscht Belt. The Pallas did especially well at Autocross in Richmond, Virginia back around 1976 We do miss driving these fantastic cars, but no longer have access to local parts and service.

trimacar Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 And I really like the Citroens, too, I owned and drove three or four of the cars that Marty mentioned, he got tired of them and passed them on to me! And, I agree with his comment, if there was local service available, I'd be interested in owning one again. The hydropneumatic suspension alone is worth the price of admission, no finer system exists in my experience, but it's a different animal. Joe's Garage would laugh at you if you asked for service..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcar Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hello Sebastian That Amilcar proved to be a complete disaster it was totally misrepresented and has been returned to the vendor.

oldcar Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Thank you Sebastian While our "Peug" is not out on the road "everyday" There would be very few weeks that go by without it "Going Somewhere" even if it is just four or five kilometres down the road, taking me to my weekly game of Petanque. If nothing else that gives me a reason to keep it clean and tidy. In return it gives me comfortable, economical and reliable transport and dare I say it, a certain element of exclusivity? Here in Australia, we do not see another one, every day! Perhaps not even once a week. But then as an ageing, if not quite yet ready to admit to being an "old" gentleman. I am not out on the road "every day". Bernie j. Edited February 2, 2020 by oldcar (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcar Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) The "Sign" is a Rally Number Plate as Issued by the organisers of some larger rallies. They make a nice souvenir of your participation in that rally. I like to keep them as a reminder of the good times we have enjoyed in our Lagonda. Bj.
