this car is here in los angeles, the owner (chris, a frenchman) runs a dealership in west LA that sells and leases used exotic cars. chris was really nice, he told us about how he came to own the car...he was looking for something more mainstream, like a porsche, when he found this car here in california and got it instead. he's owned many peugeots over the years, starting with a new 205 junior back in the day.
