Reply to "Living with a Longchamp?"

whiplashMember

My wife and I own a 1981 Longchamp that we imported from Claude DuBois' dealership in Belgium. We have put over 80,000 miles on the car and had a wonderful experience the entire way. Our car is shown in the color section of the book, DeTomaso the Man and the Machines. I would highly recommend purchasing and owning a Longchamp if you have any interest at all. I would like to install a later model automatic transmission because the 3 speed C-6 is way too low for speeds over 70MPH. The brakes are very good, however, we rebuilt our rears and found that the Jaguar and Maserati parts were quite expensive. Like any Italian car of the period, rust is a concern. Our car was stripped and repainted over 20 years ago and all rust repaired, which was minor. Dave and Linda Adler
