The car looked very nice from the outside, but terribly once the hood was open, the owner was presumably good on body-work but less on mechanics. Anyway years later (Jacques being retired) he drove me to the spot where he (re-)located the car.
It was a terrible discovery... some days before we went there some vandals had broken in the barn and had been ruining several wonderfull cars stored there. Can't publish the pictures I made then because of the horrible content.
Some weeks later Jacques contacted Mr. Naveau again and the situation was even worse: the roof of the barn had collapsed by the weight of the snow. A beam of the roof had collapsed on the Sabra. The windscreen had been pushed out (undamaged). But Mr Naveau had to get rid of these cars as they hardly had any cover anymore. Jacques bought the car and transferred it to his place.
