Hi All, is there anyone out there looking for a good restoration project namely, 1982 white Éclat Rivierra? The car is complete as far as I can tell but is in need of a complete restoration job, the only thing I see is missing is the top windscreen chrome trim. The car has been standing for a good n...

Hi Gavin, welcome to the forum!

Hi Matt, I am fortunate enough to own several of these fine motors, one of which is the first prototype vehicle, chassis no. 1144 which is the first of 4 prototypes built before production started. The car has been fully restored to its former glory and is currently on loan to The Dundee Museum of T...

Just added myself to the list in case anyone wants to pop in for a visit as Anstruther is a nice "touristy" destination for a run out.

Please add to the list,

My workshop in sunny Anstruther would be available as a meeting point for the proposed get together as there is a large public car park adjacent to it, and there might even be a couple of interesting cars kicking about inside. If anyone wanted to "make a weekend" of it and stay over I could try and ...
