Please stop giving Facebook pages traffic when they clearly make an error for engagement farming! Clearly that Fiat 132 is no Argenta…

Good old @Meta - they’ve deleted my AMC photos from my @instagram account! What a world we live in when you can’t share a picture of a mid 1970s AMC Pacer…

The AMC Pacer outside @retromobile was an unexpected treat while waiting for the doors to open! The Jean-Charles sticker on the boot lid is the official European importer based in Paris.

Working on my Retromobile photos and lots to share over the coming days but in the meantime here’s a rather delightful Renault AHS 3 from 1945 and is now part of @motul’s collection. It’s story is on their website:

Some nice yellow plate Renault Twingo action this morning in Northern France. It’s only 16 years since the yellow plate stopped being issued but they are surprisingly scarce now as a car changes plate with a new owner or moves to a new department for the original owner.

Well used Peugeot 205 and 309 action on my morning Flaneurie on the way to the boulangerie!

Could easily be sold as an Opel Manta and could have done very well. Some nice design details but somehow smothered by the Vauxhall heritage?
Still looks great, still fast as hell, still really rare - and still just £10,000 for a properly nice one like this:

French car Friday and the top class Peugeot 205 action at Retromobile: the Gentry! With the 1.9 engine this was the delux version of sportiness!

Some some lovely cars at a Retromobile today and a real focus on French. A few nice Italian and British cars too…. But first here’s some yellow headlights.

If anyone is after some great Fiat books let me know - I can’t carry these in stock. But happy to buy at Retromobile for you. £20 (plus postage if not collected from Flaneur HQ) for the black cover paperbacks. I’m sure @thealso already has a full library of these…

Bonus old street sign spotted in the way to Retromobile, albeit not in the classic concrete surround
