A very simple Dyane, with a 435cc engine, very simple finish; door panels, dashboard, steel steering wheel, even the spare wheel is in the trunk.

Not the fastest, nor the most shiny one. But really solid and very charming. With its wonderfully smooth suspension and tight steering rack, it is a joy to drive.

We’ve known the car since the early 1990s and sold it to someone in the east at the beginning of this century. We didn’t see it until recently. The once shiny first paint has gotten really thin and surface rust has come on the sharp edges. And even that suits it well. Great to preserve like this or a wonderful base to restore to its former splendor.

We have fitted new Michelins, a new exhaust and some other technical parts.

Who will take this beauty to a fun and active future?
