Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Marchal head and fog lights, Pioneer 8-track stereo, wheel covers.

Condition

Dull original paint, surface creased and soiled orginal upholstery and grungy carpets look far more used that the 27,840 km on the odometer would indicate. Sound and solid, but old and not given much attention.

Market commentary

'Le Dandy' is one of the more unusual Chapron creations on Citroen chassis, quite a claim for a series of cars known to be idiosyncratic. The short, blind quarter greenhouse and long, flat rear deck looks like a Gallic Ranchero. There is more neglect than preservation appeal to this Le Dandy and it brought a healthy price consistent with its rarity.
