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.

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

Very nice, thanks!

nice country drive. not much space if you meet something (car, animal) coming the other way.

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?

Can you imagine a Sherman tank going down those roads
