HISTORY :
An old lady decided to obtain her driving licence and ordered this Ami 8 in order to take driving lessons. The centrifugal clutch and 8 lessons were not enough to allow her to get the desired 'pink card', and so the Ami 8 was put away until the death of the owner. A collector of all types of car recovered it, but after his garage was robbed and vandalised, he decided to sell the Ami 8 and placed an advertisement. I bought it without keys and with its documents stolen, but with a certificate of the 8 driving lessons that explain the minimal mileage.
