Is that a pop-up sunroof? That's the only thing I can imagine that handle being used for. Also, those seats look SUPER COMFORTABLE. Like, I want those in my basement right now.

I not really sure, everything in this car is overly French, look at that dashboard!

The whole inside of the thing is just relentlessly funky. I love it. I'd have to have a lot of disposable income to pony up $9k for it though...it's probably the worst I've ever felt about going CP on a car.

It's an automatic?!?! RUN AWAY!!!!!

Not because it's a slushbox. The ZF boxes in these are notorious for overheating and catastrophic failure due to poor placement in the engine bay not allowing for sufficient cooling. It's what doomed just about every Eagle Premier/Dodge Monaco (which were based on it) in the US to an early death.

Since this is an early R25, it's probably a disaster waiting to turn it into a PCH.

Crack pipe.

Most ZF in almost every single french car are prone to self-destruct. Mine included (I own 2 at the moment) and had 2 go kaputt.

These had voice-alerters in it's board-computer. Friend of mine had a V6 manual and we heard it shout 'Warning, oil-pressure low!' once. Despite French electronics this alterter was right because after this the engine completely died on us.

I imagine this being said by a robotic voice with a very thick french accent.

It actually didn't sound French at all. Robotesque yes, even feminine. I must say I wasn't actually sober at that point so I could have romanticized it a bit.
