The taillights aren't how they are supposed to be.

The plastic lenses must be bleached to almost white and they must display the crazing clear parts of Norevs fashioned from Rhodialite do, like God and Serge Gainsbourg did it in the first place.

I wish I'd taken pictures of those Renault Dauphine rear lights in the French gentleman's collection. I would not have changed them for worlds.

A very small but important update on the Panhard is I have finally driven it on the road !!! Not been far yet just to the petrol station and back but it pulls well and will happily do 50 which is enough for now. The fuel gauge even seems to work which has surprised me. At least now it is driveable I don't feel so bad taking on the RO80 project.

That is epically fucked but I would be interested in the axles and running gear as those alloy drums are so much nicer. If he would flog it complete at the right money I could probably convert my Dyna to RHD. I doubt it would be easy to shift though as it would fall to bits as soon as you tried to move it

So it is new year's day tomorrow and I am supposed to be taking the Panhard along to my local car club meet. I have been running it around a bit and it was ok but struggled with hills. These have a lot of trouble with the o rings in the inlet pipes splitting and causing a lean mixture which eventually leads to melted pistons. As I would rather not have 2 cars with engines in thousands of bit's I thought I had better investigate. The plugs were showing very lean so I started with removing the carb. This did not go well as the throttle linkage mounting bolt decided to shear the mounting off rather than undo.

Not a good start but I did have a spare which also had an adaptor plate to fit a Tigre carb. There is a fair bit of difference in the carbs, fingers crossed it works when I put it all back together this afternoon. The carb was in a right state but I left it in a bucket of diesel over night and stripped it down this morning. All cleaned out and ready to refit with new o rings I hope this works !!!!
