Thats the kiddy!!
More rare also as it was a customer request SINPAR.
Usually they were a gendarme/army or La Poste car
This one needs a bit of work but has a CT and is drivable, unusual for me
A very capable 4x4 with the right tyres on

I havent seen that ad all the way through, we do get sky here but its always shorter, good advert Rolling Eyes

I think I will stick with the R4 4x4 and my Merc Gwagen I dont like the jelly mould at all, if its anything like my Scenic2 I had You probably have to take the engine out to change the oil
