Caravelle spotted

Out comes the sun, out come the drop tops, although in the case of this Caravelle the top had yet to be folded back.

Nevertheless, it’s always good to see one of these Gallic charmers: They sold pretty well in the UK yet somehow they’re overlooked by many in today’s classic market.

But it has a kool nonchalant boulevardier air British sports cars lack bar the same-age Sunbeam Alpine. This one, spotted by Special K during a break in Weymouth, oozed koolness and brought some joy to the roads of the seaside town.
