Time capsule for sure! Darnes are like Fench cars, if you get used to them no other can compare. I miss my 2CV and recall a near purchase of a R15.

In 1971 at our local North London gunshop, Whaley's, the Darne R15 sold for 115 sterling, but it was "unusual" and doubt won the day. It would have been an ideal rough shooting double. Still is.
