Really good looking example, very rare too, I have never seen one in France.

Wish I had more time....

It was only listed today-this one will go for top Euros!

I am happy it will be safe from the 205 modifiers.

Vive la France!

Probably paying a premium for the sheer value of polish on it :lol:

Does look very tidy though and good price being achieved.

Citroen didn't sell as many 16v's as you expect them to in France, due to the popularity of diesel cars there. So I guess that the Soupapes have retained a good residual value.

Also, IIRC in France they aren't allowed to do engine modifications so I guess that the 205 conversion isn't that popular over there but bodykits and paintjobs are :?:

your right mike! the french along with many other european countries dont allow modifications to the engine in anyway! hence why so often they go plain Mental on body mods!
so yeah! the 205 convo will prolly be a rare thing on a road car over there!
