So rare there are none listed! There's a blue 1979 Vanden Plas with 53,000 on the clock for £1375 on Autotrader.

You could always go and get a nice new car too with the scrappage allowance, and then flog it on!

Interesting is one word to call it and if you did not know any better you might call it French. They are known for suspension on cars that just make you shake your head and wonder what the designer was smoking that day

The motoring 'experts' always said that car was at least 20 years before its time. The same principle is still used on Citroen cars today. Also by other manufacturers including Rolls-Royce. Hydropneumatic suspension

Forgot to mention, my wife has an Opel Corsa C. It is affectionately known as "Skippy"................because the interior resembles the inside of a Skip (dumpster). You name it, you will find it on the floor. Sweet wrappers, newspaper, children's toys, bits of children's toys,  children's balloons, deflated children's ballons, sticks, yes I said sticks (the dog found them on walks and she thinks he likes to keep them), chopsticks (not worked that on out yet), a couple of matchbox cars, endless bits of paper with directions on them (SHE HAS A SAT NAV!!!!!!!!), at least 5 different ice scrappers, mobile phone charging cable......from at least two phones ago, maps for the whole of Germany, even though the car never goes more then 50 miles from home (SHE HAS A SAT NAV!!!!!!!!!!!), And finally, the same CD in the CD player since she picked up the car from the dealer brand new 7 YEARS AGO!!!!
