One of these cars is not an Aerodeck, can you guess?

I have been very busy with my friend Martin from the beige forum, it was such a fun to shoot it and the Aerodeck was a very interesting car to be in, certainly felt rare indeed. Although I didn't drive it, It clearly had a bit more grunt to it, but seemed less controlled in the bends, seemed to skip about a bit more than the Dutch Wedge
Please also correct me if I get any facts wrong!

I’m very hard to please in respect to YouTube videos but I really enjoyed this video!
Only correction is not related to the 480: the carburettor Renault 2.0 engine he is referring to in his Espace is more likely to be the J5R Douvrin engine. I had one of these in my Master and it was only possible to drive it revved to the limit and with foot flat to the floor so it really must be a strong engine!

Yes the drl need popping back in, it just pops out, and the indicator stopped as I was driving around Sandbanks at the weekend which was annoying

Thanks James, I feel Martin has a very fine style that is very informative but keeps you engaged and interested, I was slightly nervous about how I sounded, but I think on the whole it came out well
I have told him about the engine, he will investigate further!

Just as I saw the Mk. 1 Espace in his videos. Later ones I’m not sure about so could be wrong on those.
