Aft'noon all,

It's a shame that the description for this Panhard auction is a little on the brief side, and a few more photos showing the interior and engine bay wouldn't go amiss, but overall I really like the quirkiness of it. An interesting project perhaps, and a good excuse to visit autojumbles and shows in France, on the hunt for bits.

Nice quirky car. I am just old enough to remember to see (and hear!) Panhards on the road, even then they were rare. Early Seventies.
Those door shape lines, amazing.

Apparently sold for £3,000, so why not go for the earlier model in right hand drive for just £2,700?

Despite their small capacity engine(850cc),these were quite rapid cars,especially considering their size.
I was never a fan of the saloon,but Panhard,s later 24CT models were very stylish cars.A shame that was Panhard's swansong,as they produced technically interesting and advanced cars.
