Jacques Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hence why I don't really like the Evora with it's strange roofline and more bulging more compact looks, not taking into account the power and steering capabilities,, which are fine.

drdoom Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 That 2CV just instantly conjures memories of the late, great Peter Sellers for me, though he toddled along in an even more ludicrous voiture in one of the films. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giniw Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 From what I see on the front photos it looks like the windscreen top is about at the same height, and the difference would be in the flat or curved roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Popular Post tomcattom Posted July 2, 2021 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Stopped off to take a couple of snaps near a local landmark on my way home from my MOT success today. First drive in it in nearly two and half years. It scrubs up okay Just noticed I've been driving around with my LH fuel flap open all day 🤦♂️ 8 3 Quote Norfolk Mustard S4s #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
