Maserati engine I think, that's as much as I know (6 cylinders I think). Tis an uber cool car. In fact that's cooler than cool!

Good pumpkin carving too!

Yep Maserati engines, V6's, one 2.7 one 2.9 or 3 liter. It was from the period when Citroen bought out Maserati!! just about bankrupted Cit in the end and PSA was born.
Pretty good moter as it goes. :)

That be an extremely nice version there Charlie.

They are the wrong ones anyway. They should be chrome with a black insert like the bumper.

Erm, thats why I mentioned them!

TBH, those things are probably more useful than the actual mirrors it should have, since frankly, they were fucking wank.

:) Your right there Doc. The originals were actually bigger and looked wrong anyway.But the problem with them was they were split with a big section magnifier. :? Just about confused the fuck out of you every time you looked in them :P
