It's a 3-box 16 not a hatchback if I recall from our visit together!If I remember corectly I think Reims Motor Museum has an R16 prototype "Project 900". I should have a photo some where.
They made a little V8 engine for that device too, out of two 4CV blocks. Those concept prototypes are just amazing, especially for their time.
No, V8. A 1.5 litre V8. The prototype had cooling issues if I recall, but that wouldn't have been the engine.Straight 8 right?
