Great pics Strook!
I haven't seen a Renault or Peugot in so many years and didn't know they were still making them.

i'm sure you at least saw a citroen 2CV, in terms of cars it doesn't get more french lol




my favorite 80s french "hot hatch" is the peugeot 205, especially in full rally spec

They had some older Citroens that were owned by collectors. I do remember that near where I lived that an importer set up shop with some Citroens, but they were to be sold to foreigners. The only other time I saw the Citroen was at the World Rally Championship in Guanajuato. Renault had the Clio V6 which is still one of the most beautiful cars I have seen and very powerful. Peugeot had many interesting designs but my favorite was the 206cc that was their convertible model.
