The Best Looking French Cars

:p
 
I think you posted this before Griff, but I couldn't open the link, and anyway, it's well worth a second picture:

Bugatti 57SC Atlantic. If that isn't a work of automotive art, I don't know what is! :cool:
 
I'm still curious as to what drugs you have to smoke/snort/inject/ingest to think that a Renault 5 is a good looking car. :confused:

Fairly bulletproof, sure - but only because there was nothing in it to break.

How the Renault 4 gets here, I do not know. :confused:
The French have made some truly ugly cars. Ami 6, anyone? So comparatively speaking the R4 and R5 weren't that bad. But there's no way I'd call them good-looking.

Ami 6 :D

I was going to say the DS Chapron, but those Delahayes have blown me away, truly incredibly beautiful bodywork...

Saw some the Dalages & Delahayes with that F&F bodywork at classic car shows years ago, and it's even better in the metal. Me and a mate described them as Tom & Jerry cars, as they're just so amazingly over the top. :cool:
 
That's a great description of them - they do look like they're from a cartoon...but something more along the lines of a cartoon Metropolis...
 
My dad did.....a long time ago....yes, it was shit. :D

Bonkers - a perfectly lovely 2CV chassis with a Hillman Imp glued on it.:p

My 15 year old 405 looks set to follow me to the grave - MOT today - it's at the garage having new rear suspension / subframe rubbers fitted - completely fallen apart - explains a certain amount of low speed "catapulting" over speed bumps.
I'm guessing the vast amount of stuff I carry in it stopped it showing up at high speed - scary when I think of the cornering stresses on the subframe bushes though ...:eek:
 
I really like it. Apart from that tail.

Quick pick, anything apart from that contemptible lozenge above.
