About

Join me for roadtrips in ropey cars. Based in France I aim to bring you adventures with old cars. We'll take the back roads, see the sights and embrace the breakdowns. Thanks, Al.

Video Description

You don't need a license to drive this 'Car'!? I revive a long forgotten Aixam A540 microcar and attempt a 300 mile drive home. With just 6 bhp from its tiny 400cc diesel engine, this classic French 'sans permis' car struggles with breakdowns, roadside repairs, and slow progress. Can this ropey microcar survive the journey? If you like barn finds, car rescues, breakdown road trips, and classic microcars, subscribe for more! #roadtrip #microcar #barnfind #breakdown #classiccar
