is a lot more dynamic than I'm feeling this morning. Still, #OppoNeedsPurpleSwoopyCars

Yes, this is shoopable.

Dynamic was one of the last cars to use the Knight sleeve valve engines. Also rather interestingly most of them have the driver's position in the center.

That massive haul of French cars last year (Baillon estate) included a Dynamic with an unusually short roof - sadly in very poor repair indeed...
I did a search for the prices of these a while back, and while steep, they're still affordable to a connoisseur.

I'm a aware of the stash. In fact I'm going to the auction and I'm prepared to bid.
But the estimate for the Dynamic is too much for me. Even the estimate for the sedan Dynamic seems to be more than the project Dynamics that I have seen offered for.
But there were other interesting projects that were more tempting with their estimates.

Very true. This Dynamic is unusual, but not painfully rare to the point there are no other good options to get one, and if the ones at Baillon are too much, they're too much. Better not to let things be clouded by the notoriety of the find and pity toward the car's state.

For some reason I have seen surprisingly many Dynamics in less than nice condition. There has been several in project state for sale in Leboncoin.fr. I took the picture below in Autoworld in Brussels. It was probably the roughest looking car in the whole museum. It looks better in the pictures than it actually were.
Most of the Baillon cars are really rough but many are still worth restoring. But I'm a bit surprised if they are going to get over the estimate for the Dynamics.

I somewhat dream of owning a Dynamic some day, but it will surely be quite a while - I'll need to be drawing a real engineer's salary instead of what I have. That one there's a good prospect for cleaning up - I wouldn't want a concours one.

Yeah, it wasn't horrible but it still stood out among others. But there was also one really sad looking Porsche 935 with flat tires.
Salary issues are annoying. My pay isn't very high and I'm only slightly over the nations average salary for males. And now I have rather large housing loan (but it did came with a garage!). Luckily I'm pretty good at stretching pennies...
But my future summer vacations are sure to include more angle grinding than airline traveling.

And perhaps, in a way, that's as it should be.

You are quite right.
