Looks like a nice, low mileage fixer-upper. I'll take the wheels, if someone else pays shipping.

Don't worry about your English, it's better than some that speak it as thier 1st language. lol.

Low mileage?

That's half a million clicks man!

Crazy... mine just broke 180k before winter and I found myself thinking "Wow, it's really getting up there"

Good looking car! Maybe I'll get a chance to look at some French and Belgian FBs this summer, and maybe I'll be driving one of my FBs there.

500k kilos is about 300k miles, so some of us are getting close!

Wheels look similar to LE rims but I noticed there are no side marker lights, is this normal in Europe?

Those aren't the same as ours at all and are in a different location, they almost look added on which is why I didn't mention them

Definately an example of how long these cars really last when taken care of...Sure kills the reliability argument I get from people. Piston engines hit this milage about as often as a rotary does.

Bonjour,

C'est extraordinaire ça!
Et la voiture se trouve ou?
Elle existe encore?
C'est la carrosserie qui a fait les 553000km? Avec combien de moteurs?

Connaissez vous ce Mr Riviere?
Que ce qu il a fait pour arrivez a ces 553000 km? Il était voyageur/tourist autour du monde, ou...

;-)
