Thought some of your members would also like to see a couple of pics I took in Devon in about '93 or '94. She was still running quite well with nothing done apart from routine maintenance since 1979, but finally came off the road in about '98. She still looks much the same today but with obviously a bit more surface rust than then, however what she's like underneath now I've no idea !

I also bought a spare front bonnet at the time from a Panhard dealer somewhere in or near Annemasse which is still in the boot as the one you can see in the pic still has a small split in the side. He must have had 20 or 30 other Panhards in his back garden as well !

I also met a very well known guy in the Panhard world in about '78/ '79, wish I could remember his name, about 200 or 300 or so kms roughly south of Gex. He was about to go and live in Mexico I think, but he had a white convertible Panhard in his garage he was building for I think the son (?) of one of the original Panhard family, and which was due to exhibited at I think the Paris Motor Show that Autumn. Took me into his house where there were many pictures and memorabilia of Panhards everywhere. Very interesting guy, perhaps someone will remember his name ?

Then when I moved up to Stockholm in about '80/ '81 (leaving mine in the UK), I was really amazed to see another 24 BT/ CT in the centre of town in mid-winter when the temperature was about minus 7 or 8 and snow and ice everywhere !

Excellent thank you, Bourg en Bresse brings back quite a few enjoyable memories !

Afraid my French is tres ancien these days so doubt I would be able to explain or understand a great deal unfortunately. So do they have an e-mail address instead please ?

Thanks indeed for your help ! !

Bonjour a tous, je suis anglais et je demeure dans la Sud-Ouest. Premierment il y a longtemps depuis j'habite en France alors il faut que je m'excuse en avant pour mon/ ma (?) grammaire fautif (?) etc. parce que j'oublie tous !

La question je pose est je veux essayer de trouver la famille francaise ou j'ai achetee ma 24 BT/CT (1966) en 1979 dans la ville de Gex dans la Dept d'Ain juste pres de la frontiere Suisse et environ 20/ 30 kilometres de Divonne. Parce que le vendeur m'a dit a ce meme temps de le garder tres bien et avec soin, et ca j'ai lui promis. Je souviens que la premiere proprietaire etait l'agent pour la marque dans Lyon, mais malhereusement il etait decedee 6 semaines plus tard, et le prochain acheteur (la deuxieme) achetee la voiture de (from) son/sa (?) veuve. Moi je suis la troisieme proprietaire.

Alors apres presque 32 annees (!!) j'avais enfin decidee de essayer de leur trouver et lui offrir la chance de l'acheter encore s'ils ont toujours interesee.

Entre temps la voiture a ete toujours garagee ici en Angleterre mais jamais enregistrer ni jamais toucher ni restaurer, sauf les freins, disques and plafond, mais naturellement apres si longtemps aujourd'hui il est vraiment bien rouille !!! J'ai toujours la carte grise etc....

Est ce qu'il y a possible que quelq'un dans vos membres peut etre m'aider d'essayer de leur trouver ? Je serais tres heureux si c'est possible et je pense la deuxieme proprietaire sentirai pareil meme aussi !

J'ai aussi quelque vieilles photos de cette epoch mais aucune idee comment en peut lui poser dans la forum.

Fingers crossed in my search !!

Merci a tous et j'espere que vous avez bien compris !!

Great yes ! But it's only my name as the registered keeper, not the previous male owner or family's name unfortunately.....
