You asked, here they are. Sorry the quality is so bad, blame it on downsizing to be able to post here.


Hugh amount of work over the past six months: new front struts and mounts, new sway bar links, new rear discs and pads, alloy wheels refurbished, four new tyres, Timing belt, water pump and auxiliary belt replaced, new throttle body, coolant flush, transmission fluid changed, old broken soft top removed (new hardtop being built now), and headlight restoration.


The attraction of this little car for me is its versatility, it can be configured in a number of ways: retacting soft top, fold down open top, spider config with roof and rear window stored under the floor, and mini ute, as it has a drop down tailgate. My version is now primarily a full time open spider, ute, but the roof arches can be reinstalled with the hard top (takes about 10 minutes). And being French it is a most comfortable little car to drive, with a sequential gearbox (with Auto option) and with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Only a 1.6L 16v four cylinder (TU5JP4 engine) but in such a light car it really moves.


I have been rushing to complete it, as at my age I don't have time to waste. It certainly gets lots of looks around the Lake area here, they are pretty rare in Australia.
