mental french sort of scrapyard

pjs · 07-26-2010, 06:30 PM

just had a week in france, check out my pics of what must be the most scenic scrapyard/front garden. Anyone any idea what the cars actually are?

Definitely "enthusiasts" only.

Looks like quite a few Renault 4CVs in there (according to Wikipedia) It's like a cross between a Morris Minor and a VW Beetle

Oxidisation would be my best guess

Oh and they are french and shit too

You're right Boyd1963, they are Renault 4cv.
They've been very successful in the 1950's.
There is one completely restored in my father's Barn. I can get some pictures if anyone wishes.

For thoses in this thread who have sense of humour:
Why don't Scotsmen get their BMW glass tinted?
They don't believe the light goes out when they close the door

(I know, they don't have a fridge neither)

Hi Pascal

Let's see some pictures of how the 4cv should look.

4cv rocks, i'd like one

Nice detective work chaps

BTW, the location is 1km east of 'Polisot' on the D452.

I live only 160Kms away from that place.

You'll have to wait until I get back to my dad's. I'll then take pictures and post them I promise.
It is exactly as shown on the wikipedia link you gave:

Being French and more than two years old, thats how they go.

Doing that to old classic cars is a crime, even if they are French
