This
505 from 1986 is owned by Ron
Teichner from Haifa, Israel. It has a XM7A engine
with 1796 cc and Solex carb, giving a healthy 90 bhp. Ron
drives about 10.000 kms a year mostly in the city, which lies
on a mountain, where the car consumes about 13.6 liter / 100 km
gas (7.3 km / liter). On the highway, Ron manges to get
down to 9 liter / 100 km. Top speed is 172 kph.

Ron
says he had to work hard on his 505: The car used to
get hot in the summer traffic, so he cleaned the radiator and
installed an electric fan. He found his 505 also to be
very noisy; glueing a thick rug between the engine and firewall
did the trick here. Ron then replaced the starter twice
after knocking on it all last winter to start the engine...

Ron: "I wish to keep my 505 forever, my goal
is to reach 30 years which in Israel counts for an 'antic' vehicle".
