Very nice

Thanks for the replies. I can vouch for the condition as I went to a meet in Brest last Sunday & 'cri-cri' came in the 144 (not that I am by any means an expert of course).
I have a few more pics to add soon & will list the work done to the car soon:thumbs_up:

Work carried out of 'late':

New Rear Silencer;
New front callipers;
New Rear Shocks;
Pignons de distri acier? Not too sure on this; Pignon = Cog/gearwheel. Distri (short for distribution) normally refers to cambelt; acier = steel. That said can also refer to Distributor of course - Tete du distribution would be distributor cap. Hope that helps? Sorry for that bit.
Motor is a B20.
The car has 225,000KMs on clock so 140,000 miles. But replacement engine with less than 10,000Kms, so less than 6,200miles.
Say's excellant mechanical state 'roule comme horlage' as in 'runs as smooth as a clock', for want of a better way to describe.
Very good bodywork, estimates 10-15yrs before another restoration will be called for.
'Very Original' save for a windscreen washer pump from a 7 series has been added,
No radio.

Pignons de distri acier?
 
Not sure but I think this would translate as 'Steel timing gear'

Agreed. A useful upgrade due to the fibre ones often disintegrating!

Good choice to keep the car
