I have now done a trial/dummy assembly in order to detirmine if I have sufficient of the essential parts to proceed. As a result I have sent off a long shopping list to Depanoto in France. Next task is to take it all apart again and start in earnest.

Hello John et al.

Depanoto is a French firm of specialist car spares and dismantlers. It is now over 100 year old and into the fourth generation (I think) Unfortunately they are very slow in replying to requests for assistance from outside France. You can see them at www.depanoto.fr They have a huge range of 'stuff' for French cars of all ages.

Now there has been a further development. I have found a second 1920's Renault 6Cv that has been resting for quite a number of years. The owner who is just a little bit older than myself feels that he may never get around to fixing it so he may sell it.

Regarding those tyres they must be around 70 years old and rock hard. They would not have held air for the last 50 years.
