Continuing the story of France as an automotive museum:

Fiat Uno

Fiesta Mk1 facelift

Peugeot 104. These were always light but this one has added lightness by sacrificing the bottoms of the doors. Then again, it is forty years old and it must be sufficiently intact structurally to have passed its “contrôle technique”

Curiously my father owned both a 104 and a Uno (in Turbo i. e. guise) while my grandfather had a mk1 Fiesta. I have to conclude that France is my family’s automotive museum, I guess

Very cool! How do all of these old rides survive there so much?

That’s a good question. I was thinking of a dry climate but Brittany isn’t unusually dry.

I’ve hired three of the old model over the years. They were ok.

I own a 1.6 petrol w/ manual and while I accept the fact that they’re objectively crap, I just cannot hate mine because of what it’s gone through with me. It’s also one of the very few small cars I can comfortably fit in without smashing my head into the roof.

That’s what I was going to say - southern France I can understand, maybe, but Northern France isn’t dry AFAIK!
