Quite a rare beast ?? Series 1.5 Coupé

[simonandjuliet]

Spotted for sale on LeBonCoin here in France, what looks to be a real cross-over

It has low headlights, S1 grill, sidelights, dash, oil cooler , washer bottle, rocker cover etc etc but has a 5 speed 'box, servo (non remote) , S2 wheels, door mirror and so on

Declared as registered in March 1970

I assume it's real, but who knows ? No relation to seller etc
 
Asking 16K euros

I had thought of putting a five speed gearbox in my S1 but couldn't decide if it would be an improvement. Nice colour in the first picture.

Many years ago Martin Cliffe told me when went to have the carburettors sorted out on my 1.3 Rallye Coupe, that he though the 4 speed gearbox was the nicest of the gearboxes.
Must admit I've never driven a 5 speed Fulvia, but I thought the 4 speed with the long lever was a lovely gearbox, besides with a 5 speed you can no longer easily get in or out either side, the flat floor was worth having.

I wonder if it has the girling brakes too then.  I know there were series 1.5 berlinas which had them.  Easier/cheaper to rebuilt...
