Hello Donald. I am fortunate (or unfortunate) to be a Panhard enthusiast. While watching an episode of “Garage” I was delighted to see two cars that I performed extensive work on in the 90’s: white PL17 and blue 24bt. At that time I was the autobody apprentice for the owner of those cars, and have some pictures I’d like to share. I’m in the SF Bay Area and will be in Monterey 8-18 and 8-26 for the historics. Thanks! Jeff
Thank you for your email Jeff – I’ve forwarded your comments to Donald.
