That's a good looking car.
Anyone else notice the font for the speedometer? Is that so it looks normal after drinking merlot all day long?
In reply to RossD:
I'm guessing that some PO "converted" it from km/h to MPH.
Odd looking tires on it. It should be on 70 or 80 series tires. If it weren't an autotragic it might be fun in a "slow car fast vs fast car slow" kind of way.
These things have a bizarre electro-mechanical transmission that is relatively simple. Basically a three speed syncro gear box with an electric clutch. I'll bet a box of donuts that the service switch for the transmission is set in the neutral position or the electrical feed needs some cleaning.
The switch labeled #1 is most likely set to the '0' position and that is why the car wont move.
I had a Dauphene automatic once, picture a clutch and a pressure plate with a heave oil between them. The oil has iron filings suspended in it, the "dynamo" creates a magnetic field that involves more or less iron filings giving more or less contact/traction.
They used it on their F1 cars also. Lotsa wine....
This is why French cars never sold well here.
Well one reason.
