Something like 10,000 of these were sold to France as partial kits. The French had to put a lot of French produced parts in them, so the engine and many other elements are French. They are very under powered and use much more fuel then the German engined G. They lack much of the grace of the G, and even the steering wheel is something out of a 1950's sedan. Very odd vehicle in the final analysis, I would not even call it a "G". There is an fairly good account of the P4 in the Gwagen 'Legend' book. Sorry, mine is on short term loan, so I can not give you the full title. Dutch would know the full reference.
