Thanks for membership.
I have recently purchased '84 C4 which will soon be on the water to Australia.
This is a bit of a change for me as most of my cars in the past were Euro or English (1947 Mk 4 Jag, Mk VII Jags, TR3A's, Triumph Dolomite Sprints, BMW 750iL and others over the years)
Now I am retired (70 years old)and having also developed a severe allergy to cold concrete floors, bruised knuckles and the lube oil hairdo I decided a fully restored car was a safe bet as we are about 1300 meters elevation with plenty of frost & winter snow.
All this and the obvious necessity to seek (humbly) the approval of "Herself Indoors" were key criteria in the selection of the C4 as you will probably appreciate.
Doubtless I will have many questions after the car gets here and hopefully they will not all be silly ones.
Regards, Rene'

Welcome and hope the car arrives in great condition. I'd recommend spending time in the various C4 sections of the forum for lots of good info on your car.
