One of my favorite cars! Mine is AM 166, I purchased the car in a damaged but complete state from Joe Papp in Texas in 2006. It was originally a 51B but had been upgraded at some point in its life to 51C-spec. When this happened the Renault 'box driveshafts had been retained and star shaped alloy spacers made to make up the difference in length, the point being that this was probably a do it yourself update. If anyone can add anything to its earlier history I would love to know more.
