I need an old French car in my life, but sadly I need an auto and DS's don't float my boat. I fantasise about finding a rusty R5 auto to mate with an early R4, or even an R6.

Hi Rick,

Yes it was built by a French company called "Le Bast***" based on a Peugeot of course, and used for the Tour De France...

The full story can be found here, now on it's 53rd page....
