Just back from Vision Express. I am sure they have Le Specsaveurs or something similar over there Phil......

The difference between Imagination and reality!

Spec savers aside it was not a bad looking car.

It was a red one I saw and it's probably more Mazda than Ford so was an okay car back in the day.View attachment 124629
I think it was a shared design but preferred the MX6

very few and far between Phil , what was the similar model they did which rivalled the VX220
Guess it was similar to the VX Loz.
Made them for only 3 years 96 to 99 and under a 1,000 kgs a quick search here and €45,000 to €60,000.

I take it that to change the rear tyre the suspension droped down? Phil how did that work? and that squashed bonnet? sheesh
I know it's blôôdy awful but at the same time is what gives it a certain charm.
I used to hate French stuff over the years but now I've got my R4 two R16's and the Citroen XM V6 all since I met my Ms French :)

I was reading up on the car it was the replacement for the 2CV and was know as the 3CV

Fitted with a Fiat Air cooled 602cc engine. Typical French never mind the looks its the practicality that matters, with independent suspension all round and seats you could take out and use in a picnic!
