Video of a French 124 in the Norman Countryside

Not sure if anyone has seen this before because it was only posted the past summer. It's a blue 124 Spider driving around in Normandy, France. Starts rural, ends in a town right on the coast:

Love the exhaust note!

Also, a ride down Paris's Champs-Elysées, though not a high res. Still fun to see, though:

And, finally, a vid of the resto from outside the car. It's a small bumper and probably has never even seen the big-ass tubulars of post 1975 since I suspect the car has always been in Europe. :)

Interesting to see the amber rear turn signal and French yellow headlamps.

Enjoy if it's new to you... We're in the middle of another deep freeze (-13F right now, will feel like -29F with the wind chill tomorrow morning as the kids get on the school bus) so this is inspiration to me for a few months from now when I finally get my own Spider. :P

Cheers,

Oh, and another European vid - the only good bit is at the end (already in link) as the procession goes by:

Great vids, nice car.

In the first one I like his hat and driving gloves. Looks like an early Sunday morning drive in the spring or fall. Very quiet morning in town. Does everyone lives in apartment buildings?
