FYI: One of the topics this autumn Richeville

We are used to see the tonneau Richeville from the 90's and 2000.

It started much earlier with a more classic shape...

More to come.. Stay tuned!

based on your earlier teaser, I did read up a bit on the Richeville history and its roots in the 50ties. Very much looking forward to a more detailed report. CC

Interesting story indeed! :)

The GP history is like a candy store! :) You will find a lot of goodies where ever you look! ;) Best Blomman

So, in September, I will post my review on the Richeville Night and Day.

Bad influence

we have been talking about "bad influence" on the other thread on the Traveller and I have been accused! However!!! Nobody else other than Blomman really is bad influence! CC :D ...

Congratulation, CC! :) Now I must hurry to finish my Richeville post! I don't want to be a too bad influence here... But, you do know that the Richeville also came in a rectangular case...? So, if you are looking to complete the Richeville line you need a...

Hey Chippy!
