A model looking alike your Vedette but fitted with the Aronde 4 cylinder was named Ariane or Ariane 4. Very convenient for large families or parisian taxis.
Did you have other french cars in period?
Bonjour Gerard, no never had French cars...however I did have the use of a Renault 10 for a several months once...and later did and engine overhaul on a similar car (gotta love the ease of fixing wet sleeve engines).

The Aronde Pilote is Geoff Rose, an ex-Navy man I got to know through working for La Defense myself :-)

I wanted to put some photos of the car up but now that Botophucket has decided to hold people to ransom for 3rd party hosting...well...I refuse to go chasing another hosting program that could also perform the same price gouging trick. So...I only post images on websites that will allow uploads.

Bon Chance! Mick
