Is it just me misreading the situation but there does not seem to be much love for this car - ? I have never owned a French car let alone a 'race spec' one. Well presumably at least a French 'M division' type car. Yes, I am more of a German fan but have often thought about owning one of the French offerings in this area.

Maybe it will be a last minute rush - ??

Croissant anyone?

I suspect that this one doesn't have the cup pack. I stand to be corrected but it doesn't have the red calipers it's also not to mentioned in the description. It is also mentioned that it has a gearbox problem. Nobody wants the non-cup pack ones and nobody wants gearbox problems either. The ones with the ricaro seats are more desirable but that doesn't explain why this one isn't getting the attention to me

You're correct re the non-cup version — I valued A/C! Gearbox issue is minor, and only with the reverse lockout, all gears themselves are fine, it doesn't show any signs of the common 2nd-3rd synchro issues these gearboxes are known for. Those really would be a negative!

But does this have a cup pack? There is a cup spec (has the black infills down the side) which was without AC but there is a cup pack which gave you the cup stuff (suspension, brakes iirc) but you retain the AC and some other bits maybe cruise control etc. That's nicknamed the full fat. Was just wondering.

Right, no, this does NOT have the cup pack with the cup suspension. I rebuilt the suspension with OEM standard parts
