 why restrict yourself? I've done over half of the list already, hopefully still a few years to tick the rest off. You see, mines a genuine list  now, does anyone knw where I can get a really nice clean 1974 peugeot 404, or a 1976 504 GL  Great spirit! Welcome to the club of euro - schizophrenic car lovers (great to see that I am not alone). Peugeot...a bit unexpected on the list....browsed a car sales site: What about this low mileage: Peugeot 504 ti Automatic 1978: http://www.blocket.se/halland/Peugeot_504_ti_Autmatic_1978_39917659.htm?ca=21&w=3Or this Peugeot 204 Coupe Pininfarina, that front for sure got some balanced curves (car in need of some TLC): http://www.blocket.se/malmo/Peugeot_204_Coupe_Pininfarina_10500___40092558.htm?ca=21&w=3You hardly ever meet old Peugeots on the road nowadays....(links just works until cars are sold, sorry for that).

That's cheating, you've just been through the Observers Book of Automobiles and ticked something off every other page  why restrict yourself? I've done over half of the list already, hopefully still a few years to tick the rest off. You see, mines a genuine list now, does anyone knw where I can get a really nice clean 1974 peugeot 404, or a 1976 504 GL It's a bit like wine  are you drinking because you like the taste or because you like the effect

I walked past a black Europa that was parked up in Le Touquet 10 days ago, it didn't half look low and lean. Yes! Have loved the shape (and performance) ever since we were overtaken by one on a return trip to W. Sussex. Think I was about 7 or 8 at the time. It would have been one of the early, Renault powered cars. The 1600 Twinc - the last engine, if properly looked after was a great little engine... A pal had a 47 Replica in JP Gold Leaf colours - the orginal car being written off by John Bolster at MIRA (according to the car's history)  Sorry it's lo-res (lack of space on my web site) - shows how low they were Andy, Pug 504? My Sister had a 504 Estate (505?) a good number of years ago, supplied by the vet practice she was working for. She thought it was one of the best around back then - particularly with the amount of kit she needed to carry Cheers,

 Yes, collecting old Peugeots does not demand that much space...you can fit quite a lot of roof panels in a garage...

1 - 911 (993) Carrera 2 (Raw and fabulous.) 2 - 427 Shelby Cobra (with tusks.) Even a well made copy is fine. 3 - Opel Ascona 2 dr (400 body) in road trim. 4 - 230 SL Mercedes Benz (circa 66 ish. Pillar headlights.) 5 - Something early with open fuselage type chassis and exposed wheels (think Bugatti type 35b shape - but affordable) Again, the right kit here might be nice.  .. should I remove the wings from my +4  I think NG made some interesting examples of this ilk.
