  1. Not from them, from a similar site here in France.
  2. I found oner new by searching the net, it was a company selling tuning/racing parts, but not easy to find.
  3. Other than the unexpected 🤔
  4. That was for the CritAir classification not about low emission zones. My 1968 reg 13/60 also doesn't qualify for a CritAir classification and it has French nationality. The low emission zones have all, so far, accepted to exclude classics from the restrictions. An old car here can, under certain conditions, be registered as 'collection' as is mine. It is this registration that determines the exemption. Just don't worry about it, everything will be fine. Now I think about it isn't that what the captain of the Titanic said.
  5. "Glad to be of service" 🤔
  6. Ordered mine a week ago
  7. Of course he didn't, they went and raced round his garden at Versailles, the vehicules had far less horse power then of course. . . .
  8. Goes back much, much further - hence my photo of Le Roi ( royal blue), renamed by the revolution, the original term French blue refers to a particular way of dying fabric. As used by a fabric from Nîmes, d' Nîmes or in English denim.
  9. Not at all. It is actually 'Bleu de France' Or if you prefer, a Norman.
  10. And they just wanted to be different 😁 vive la difference!
  11. Voilà! https://fleasting.com/film-teinte-phare/86-5128-film-jaune-phare-et-feux-voiture-moto.html#/103-dimensions_film_pour_feux-03_cm_x_1_m
  12. Check out the profiles heading
  13. Yellow bulbs are still available legally, so I guess the covers would be. But why would a French car fit covers rather than have had yellow bulbs ? Are those yellow covers really ones designed to convert RHD beams to LHD beams for Brits coming to France? As for why they were introduced a more mundane answer is that they dazzle oncoming drivers less that white and better in fog. When I moved here (1994) they were still common, they have gradually disapeared and there was even a time when yellow bulbs that blew were replaced by white and it was quite common to see a car with one of each. More fun was when the French changed the law about priority at roundabouts, but that is another story . .
  14. We have 5 apple trees but I put grease balls in the cherry tree and we watch the birds 5ucking in while we sit in the conservatory having breakfast. We get hares and deer in the field regularly, less frequently, like last weekend, a family of wild boar passing by. Fortunately they don't come into the garden - the damage they do is massive!
  15. We're not opressed - yet
  16. Sporting the 'UK' sticker here in France is likely to get you a lot of sympathy and support for your struggle against an opressive regime. Yes, that's right - a lot of people think the 'UK' stands for UKraine
  17. I'll say it again - don't worry about it.
  18. That what my 13/60 has
  19. 'Voitures de collection' are exempt from the restrictions. My 13/60 is registered as one, in the case of your Triumphs I don't see there being any problems, well fingers crossed, with Monsieur Gendarme. This map might help. I don't imagine you'll be passing my way, Normandy close to Alençon. Good luck to all Bonne route!
  20. I'd have thought more frightening, but maybe you kept your eyes shut . . .
  21. Yes, a fine looking car. Hope it works, out I know you enjoy it if it does

    Arrow

    Looks good, well done.
  23. There are several wheels with a smaller diameter that you can fit. The standard warning that people add about doing it is that the smaller the wheel the greater the effort to turn it at low speed.
