They are Cibie Oscars. Strange name? Cibie make quite a few lamps; I =

Cibie was an independent French company but now it=E2=80=99s part of the =

My favorite colour combination.  Very nice.  I doubt my little 948 =
Frogeye would like the hills much.

Very interested in your auxiliary lamps. What kind are they?  I see 576s =

Enjoy the ride!

with them at the Le Mans Classic in June this year. They are a very =

do French. They seem to prefer 100s and 3000s as there wasn't a single =
Sprite. Speaking to them, I got the impression that most of them came =
from the southern parts of France. (Less rain/rust?) Attached is a =
picture showing my red over oew just after we arrived. I suppose about =
another ten cars arrived to my left with the same number opposite. =
Plenty of Healeys.
I drove down south after the weekend and went pretty near where you are =
now. Overnight in Issoire which is just north of Le Puy and thence to =
near Perpignan which is pretty close to the Spanish border.

Hi everyone,

I=E2=80=99m hiking in France right now,  and as I walked through Le Puy =
yesterday (Sept. 13th) four or five Healeys drove through together- I =
remember a couple of red and black 100/6=E2=80=99s or Mk1 300=E2=80=99s =
and a Healey blue 100=E2=80=A6left hand drive cars. I wondered if =
someone on the list was on a tour?
Of course, they could have been French cars, but it=E2=80=99s quite rare =
to see vintage cars on the road here.
