I've wanted one of those for a long time. But this one looks like it was shat out by the "you'll be sorry you bought this" monster.

I like the post script: "also for sale unknown Bentley ....."

What, since when is that a post script?

What scrap yard offered $1000 for that? and what drive train swap could be pulled off in a challenge budget?

I saw a running citreon just yesterday, it was an eighties vintage cx sport. It didn't look bad at all and sure stood out among all the beige mobiles it was sharing the road with.

Why do all French car designers huddle out in left field?

I actually saw one or two of these "in the metal" when I lived in the San Fran area in the '80s. When they are perfect, they are nice cars, but when they look like this....?

SMs are a nice looking car when you get one with the European headlights instead of the dorky American ones.

I think a french car powered by maserati is a superb idea.

I contacted him about the Bentley. Here it is.

Quite frankly, I'd be more interested in the ladder.
