I best remeber it from the movie “Irma la douce” with Shirley MacLane as the police van. Many more people will remember it as the van that was for the French what the VW Bulli was for the Germans…
It is slow, it has a strange appearance that many might describe as “ugly”, but I just love it. During a holiday in France I met a couple that transformed one of those into a camper van. Brilliant.

Well. Maybe for me this is the one car that embodies “La grande nation” the most… Maybe I like it so much because it means Paris and l’amour for me…
