Rally & Ice Race History: 1970 Alpine A110

Grandma’s little red roadster!
1969 Citroen Mehari: Plastic Party
There are few cars that put a smile on my face more easily than the Citroen Mehari. I spotted one years ago at an auction in New Hampshire and have been captivated by them ever since. This just-discovered example is a… more»
1964 Renault Caravelle For $1,200
This (sporty?) little red 1964 Renault Caravelle has been stored since the 1970s and has only 63,000 miles on it. What would it take to wake up this little car for a top down, wind in your hair ride? It needs brakes and… more»
1988 Citroen 2CV: Low Mileage Survivor
While this Citroen was built in 1988, you would think it was built in the ’50s, but that’s likely because these cars didn’t change much over their 41 year production run. This example is one of the final versions… more»
46 Years In A Barn: 1954 Citroen 11
Thanks to reader Olaf E. for this Dutch find! After 46 years in a barn in Friesland, Netherlands, this Citroen Traction Avant was recently revived with new brakes, lights, and a tuneup (if I believe Google translation!) The body… more»
Rolled Runner: 1958 Panhard Dyna Z
We have featured a couple of these quirky little French cars before, but none have looked quite like this! The car appears to have actually been in decent shape before the roll-over incident. The seller mentions that the engine… more»
1967 Renault Caravelle: 8k Mile Survivor
I’m a sucker for drop top European sports cars and low mileage survivors. Put the two together and you have the perfect combination, well at least in my book. In all honesty, this Renault Caravelle wouldn’t be my first… more»
1957 Citroen 2CV For $2,500!
About 10 years ago I remember seeing one of these. It was parked in front of a strip mall and was painted up with Little Caesars Pizza logos. It was an effective sign, but one day it disappeared. Up… more»
Gallic Truck: 1965 Citroen 2CV
This 1965 Citroen has been sitting in this garage since 2004, when it was imported from France. The seller tells us it ran “real good” at the time and they have put a new exhaust on it since then… more»
Dovetail: 1960 Simca Aronde
I had to look up what “Aronde” meant in French; it’s “dovetail,” very fitting for a car company whose symbol was a bird in flight. This stylish little coupe is located in Auburn Hills, Michigan and is for sale… more»
Easily Operational: 1972 Citroen SM
We haven’t featured a Citroen SM for a while, so I thought this one deserved a mention. The hydropneumatic suspension, Maserati engine, and French styling scare a lot of people off, but these are awesome machines. They competed with the best luxury… more»
Rusty and Crusty: Citroen 2CV
I’m honestly not sure if this 2CV is worth restoring, and it’s awfully rusty, but it sure looks fun just the same! It’s currently in Medway, Massachusetts, and is being auctioned here on eBay where bidding is substantially less than… more»
