Description

First registered on June 6, 1972. French car, sold new in Tours by the Pichard dealership.

Known history documented by administrative archives:

  • Owner no. 1: engineer in Tours, registration 6727 QB 37 in June 1972.
  • September 13, 1974: taken in by Garage Saint-Simon, 205-212 avenue de Grammont in Tours, then resold.
  • Owner no. 2: builder in Voutré, registration 633 KZ 53 in February 1975.
  • Owner no. 3: bodywork painter in Condé-sur-Sarthe from April 1976, registration 875 QB 61.
  • Owner no. 4: cheesemaker, from March 1981.

The corresponding archive documents accompany the car.

The bodywork painter owner repainted it white in 1976. It was subsequently repainted in the 2000s in its original Beige Albatros AC 087 color.

The interior is original. It naturally shows signs of its age: a tear on the rear bench seat cushion, tired foam on its backrest, and wear at the upper left of the driver's backrest caused by the seat belt. Everything is visible in the photos.

In recent years, the car has benefited from extensive work and parts purchases, with €6,611.36 in documented invoices and purchases, including:

  • cylinder head resurfaced;
  • valves and seals replaced;
  • new radiator;
  • new water pump;
  • 123 Ignition electronic ignition;
  • new fuel tank;
  • fuel rail hoses replaced;
  • electric fuel pump replaced;
  • fuel pressure regulator replaced;
  • fuel filter replaced;
  • injectors ultrasonically cleaned and then tested on a test bench;
  • 5 Comfort spheres replaced;
  • new rear brakes;
  • steering rotary seal and associated hydraulics recently replaced;
  • new exhaust from the center muffler to the rear;
  • rear parcel shelf recently replaced;
  • 4 Dunlop tires approximately 2 years old, having covered less than 4,000 km.

The steering hydraulic leak that resulted in a follow-up inspection has been repaired.

Recent roadworthiness inspection passed with no defects.
The car has just covered approximately 400 km, on roads and motorways.
However, intermittent engine jerking under partial load remains, mainly around half throttle. An adjustment is required. I prefer to report this clearly.
