Sold new in Algiers in April 1959, the car on offer was acquired from a collector from Loiret in 2010 by its current owner. The car then benefited from a comprehensive restoration with the bodywork fully stripped. The paint, in its original grey color, has been redone. The red leather upholstery, in good condition, has been retained and only the roof has been refurbished. The matching numbers mechanicals also benefited from a refurbishment, and on this occasion, the original cylinder head, which had become porous, was replaced by a piece conforming to 3.4 S' original specifications. The gearbox was also overhauled and its seals replaced. The running gear has been restored, with all the silent blocks and bearings replaced. The brakes have been redone and the brake booster replaced. The electrical harness was serviced, and an alternator was adapted. A record of the engine compression and the excellent oil pressure confirm that the mechanicals are in perfect condition. In beautiful condition, retaining its pleasantly weathered interior and in perfect working order, this rare and powerful 3.4S coupe is a great opportunity for connoisseurs.
