*** A desirable example of a French cult classic.
'Clothilde' - vintage French name
Enjoyed for many years driving across the French countryside visiting vineyards/ points of interest ( Canal du Midi) and giving friends and family precious memories.
A real head-turner with her black high polish and silver chrome accents. Many a Frenchman historic chats on the side of the road and outside the Town Halls / 'La Marie' & 'Hotel du Ville'.
She has been lovingly restored by former engineer / architect and bought in great working order from a good friend in Provence France for retirement jollies.
