Ok, first sorry for the english (we are not typically multi-lingual down here!)
I have already asked a question about larger alloy wheels this week, so thought I would introduce my car here.
I acquired (free) a 1996 605 2.0 16v, and have been getting it repaired for being road legal again: here, if a car is not registered/used for two years it must go through a strict inspection.
These are not very good pictures, I will update later:

I have a list of items to fix but should only be another week now! So far I have had to fix:
Re-weld front door hinge to body
Windscreen
Front & rear disc pads
rear discs
3x electric window winders
steering rack inner joint & rubber boots
alternator belt (SIX pulleys to get around!)
washer pump
Remaining:
steering column pivot bolt snapped off (this will be not so fun, up under the dash...)

So, it is slow going but 'keeps me off the streets'! Yes, the 2.0 is VERY slow compared to my PRV 505 (below), but simple to work on so far!
Our main vehicle for transporting the kids in is a 1990 505 familiale - with V6 transplant. It has been extremely reliable and a superbly useful load carrier, for five years now.

Also a 1971 504 (my grandmothers), awaiting a 'rainy day' for some serious body repairs.
