Do you (assuming you're of a certain generation) remember that weird round ball thingy they featured on Blue Peter back in the 70s? John Noakes was the one assigned to feature it. I think it was designed by a French engineer and the feature was shot in Paris.

(scuse the over use of "feature" LOL)

Excellent work Toureman.

This is the one!
From memory, it was designed by a Frenchman and John Noakes drove it around Paris in the early 70s.

The car on the left 14th row down, what's strange about it? I can't remember its name but they were fairly common in the 1960s.
