be like it is
that roof is distinctive... :lawl:

about the bagheera:

the Bagheera was created using stock Simca components, including the engines, gearbox and suspension elements, but unlike the Simca cars it shared them with, it was a mid-engined car

The Bagheera's body was made of polyester, mounted on a steel structure. It was formed in the shape of a sleek hatchback, with a rear hatch that allowed access to the engine mounted behind the passenger compartment. There was only one row of seats, but it featured an unusual combination of three abreast. The Bagheera remains one of the few three-passenger sports cars.

Very few Bagheera's remain in existence today, as they were suffering badly from quality issues (the Bagheera won the ADAC Silberne Zitrone = "Silver Lemon" award in 1975 for the poorest quality car of that moment) and extensive body rot. Though the polyester panels couldn't rust, the underlying steel chassis had almost no protection.

crazy french :lawl:

My god that interior gives me flashbacks.

When I was in high school I went skiing in norther NH with some friends. Wanted to take my 96 Eclipse because we needed another car but my dad said no (I was 17).

Ended up in a friends 86 (IIRC) Volvo 240. The engine seized on the way back. In a snow storm. When it was 10* out. We waited for a tow truck for two hours. I got mild frostbite on my toes.
