If you do, let me know.

Cheers

Retro Rides and eBay favourite Paul. Most have rotted to high heaven by now though. I've seen the odd one advertised on some French car forums, will let you know if I spot anything. Citroen Visa pretty similar iirc, one of them any good if I come across one?

[Paul]

Needs to be a samba!
My first car and i'm gonna xe one for fun

What engine did you.
Any good?

[SteveM]

i think we used the 1340 engine it had a fivbe speed gearbox, at that time you could pick the cars quite cheaply because when you went to see them if you lifted the rear seats the floor used to be rotten,hence a good price could been had, my friend used to stage rally a yellow one with bonnet vent etc used to go very.

The Rallye used the same carbs as the Nova Sport IIRC...

thats very simliar to the one i had in fact i had a few as i had a number of offs while rallying,a silver one like the one in the pic and a blue one, the rules at the time i was rallying were that you could only have a single forty, i only have photos, but if intrested would try and get them put on a disc so they can be uploaded

As requested - Not massively common round here.
Found this one maybe 200kms away...
http://www.leboncoin.fr/vi/8571281.htm?ca=16_s
1984 4-speed.
Very good condition mechanically, sunroof, comes with lots of spares. 570E is a smidge over £400.

this one
http://www.leboncoin.fr/vi/8648968.htm?ca=16_s
ia 1984, has a new tyre and needs a balljoint changed to pass french mot.
no price,he says "fair offer"

Looking to the north round calais way...
one of the most half-assed widearch conversions ive ever seem. the arches are blatently from some other car.

There are a few others too.
go to the home page http://www.leboncoin.fr/ and choose the region to search and ram in a keyword.
if you are considering one....."sans CT" or "CT a faire" means it has no French MOT
"Sans carte gris " or "sans CG" means it has no V5. a car sold here without its registration paper is worth jack-all, ideal for you, but you will have no proof of the cars age to register it in uk.
"en l`etat" is slang for sold as seen ie its a bit ****ty.

Plus, there is always www.ebay.fr


good luck

mange tout david, mange tout!

Found this on Frenchcarforum, ad put up on 19th Dec 07:

"One for the collectors, my 1982 Talbot Samba LS. MOT'd until about April 08 I think, and in reasonable order for the age. Suspected Head Gasket or other engine failure. Want to see it go to a good home, too good to chop up. email me mat.tuck(at)ntlworld.com replace (at) with @."

[Allvaux]

Is FCF back up again now then Dan? It was running through BXC so if anyone can't access it give me a shout and I'll try for you.

[Violet]

They are the same as Citroen Visa's and Peugeot 104's.
My dad had a 104 many years ago. Horrible mechanics, and tinny and tiny.
I'd have one though. A 104 went for 2k a couple of years ago. There is a Visa on retrorides.

[Allvaux]

Isn't somebody selling two 104s together on RR too? If not there I've defo seen them advertised somewhere.
