I agree. I buy mine from a local car spares place that also supplies just about every garage in the area, no way are they going to supply fakes of anything

Are the cracks classed as a 'fail' or just an 'advisory' ?

You would if it was a DeLorean you wanted testing

My 13/60 has a build date of 3 July 1968 and has flags, which from the state of them look to be original

I think he still posts here on rare occasions 😁

They come up from time to time on the bay so keep looking.

The top one came with my 13/60 the bottom one I've just bought on the bay. A little reading tonight is on the cards. When I opened the packaging the seller had also included a brochure for the 1300 TC as well. I'll see if I can pass this on to someone.

There are also lots of posts about the unreliability of condensers. What even system you use carry a spare, that way it won't fail but something else will 🙄

I've had accuspark fitted to my 13/60 since 2015, no problems. It seems to something that people either love or hate. The important thing is that the car starts when you turn the key and runs correctly(ish)

Stock photo of my car, if you need more detail I'll get a photo with ruler

Weren't they only fitted to convertibles?

It was wasn't, maybe after the swinging sixties and all the stuff people smoked/inhaled their sense of perception was still suffereing. . .

The reason it is immaculate is due to the colour combination. The owner could bring themselves to be seen in it so left it hidden in the garage

I know what you mean, just checked my usual centre 12 kms away and they only have 4 slots left for tomorrow, 08h40, 10h00, 10h40 & 15h20. Mind you if I book on line I save 5€ on the 77 'list price'

1960 to 66 with just short of 700 examples being sold. Citröen took it up after a Norman engineer made one. They were really meant to be used in specialised areas by specialised people, i.e. not for general public use. They weren't very practical - 2 petrol tanks meant not much room in the back, engine in boot as well as the standard one up front, so no boot space. Plus as said, probably more than once 'double the engine double the problems' that would have been less polite in the original French use. Of course the car had a massive power output as a result of the work a mind blowing 26hp - no I haven't missed a zero out. When one does come up for sale a potential buyer has to have deep pockets as a couple of hundred thousand of our Euros will be needed to pay for it.

Yea but only 2, not enough for a good tune

Back in the 80s we were on holiday in Iceland and pulled in for a break at a point where the outflow from a glacier went into the sea. Purely by chance there was a technical crew filming a (large) model submarine deguised as an ice burg with a model helicopter buzzing around. Forget which Bond film but think the one with Grace Jones

It ain't even got a proper roof nor wing mirrors 🤭

One 2cv that had to do stunts required modifying and became a 4 wheel drive with 2 engines, one for the front wheels, one for the rear. I gather they weren't ' synchronised ' and it was lethal to drive and not a joke. Yes in the film it was ' surprisingly.

I'll take it off their hands, scuffs and all 😁

There is only one James Bond car as far as I'm concerned, DB5. Goldfinger was the first film my dad took me to see as a father and son thing. I was too young to see it according to the rating but being tall there wasn't any problem. The car is a bit out of my price range - by about six zeros

I replaced the padding and bought covers that are held in place by velcro. At the time they were quite a good price. They were on Ebay, the company was JF Boots in New Malden Surrey, I think they have moved and become JF Customs. The email was/is : maciekdekert@hotmail.com. It loooks as if they are on the bay with the new name but no idea if they still do the same products.

That doesn't look the same as the ones I refurbished on my 13/60 convertible Note the end of the bars

I made pancakes for breakfast this morning and they really wern't all that flat 😁

You should be so lucky.
