I'd love to have a C15. They were great to drive and have so much character.

I've kitted it out as a mini-camper, it's ace. They are a hoot to drive, roll incredibly on corners but a still stick to the road

My other crusty French motor out-handles the van significantly :

Heading down into Stradishall this afternoon and this caught my eye. I do like a big Citroen estate.

20 years ago I had a colleague who had one, he wax oiled everywhere he could get to, even drilling holes to get it in places you normally couldn't. Apparently he still has it in his barn. I had a couple rides in it, wonderful and smooth. Which then reminds me, formerly he (among many other cars) had a Mk10 Jaguar, very heavy on fuel and he reckoned to have one tank full of kerosene, the other petrol. The kerosene was available to him through dubious channels (he was no shrinking violet and always keen on a deal) and he said it ran quite well as long as the engine was hot. Long term it was probably a terrible thing for the engine but that wasnt his goal.

I was driving tonight and met a Bristol Beaufighter(ish)? tonight going in the opposite direction. It's hard to say as they evolved so slowly over the years.

They weren't much to look at but I'd still like to own one as I admire the quality and engineering.

Ah, I wish, just a pretty standard diesel 😊

The earlier Bristols are stunning cars - 403 to maybe 410

and those in between

Even those are quite sprightly.

Presumably a restoration, as it looked to be stripped internally
Apologies for quality, it was in an awkward position to photograph
