I remember seeing the red SP in the 'Red Room' many years ago, John - it belongs to you?
(What's it doing in a Museum.....?)

The red SP250 is owned (or loaned to) the museum.

Mine's maroon but I didn't add the photo because it's been on this forum a lot already. If you want to see it, look here:

A car, how old it is, should never stay in a museum 356 days of the year. When I was a penniless student in the seventies, my daily car was a 1909 Ford model T. It was the perfect car in the parisian traffic

No, No, the rough cobbles in old Paris streets needed the very loose, bouncy, high clearance suspension of an old car like the model T.

The Germans try it in '40, you know the end of the story

Quiet frankly, I prefer drive in UK than in France, because you, you are polite and prudent with a steering wheel in your hands. I am afraid I cannot say the same about my compatriots
