Looks nice enough.
What is the surprise?

[Barry]

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.

[Rusty Chrome (Malcolm Parker)]

A bargain. Knowing Rondeau, it's probably very quick on a long straight. 

[Barry]

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!

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?).

[jean-do]

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
