Incidentally, I owned a few years ago AM56 that had come from Switzerland and had been fitted with an ugly Sbarro bodywork.
You are definitly right, we were in contact a few years ago.
At the moment I know the previous owner before Mr Mathevet. His name was Mr Henri Pugnot (as I mentioned above he was leading a Citroen garage in Marseille, France) but apparently he passed away. I am still looking for the contact of his son, Claude.
