I agree completely with this sentiment. As much as I like British
cars, I must say that the R-10 was and still is the best car ever
built in the history of the planet. Four-wheel discs, full
independent suspension, Michelins all around, super-comfortable
seats; my brother bought one new in 1970 for $2000. If only it had a
five-speed and a 2-liter engine! Also a two-door body. Are there
any Caravelles out there any more? Maybe a mailing list could be
started for little French convertibles.
