Pacers in Europe  are between success and anonymity!

Take a Tour:    Jura France Germany Netherlands Italy Scandinavia England Switzerland

Sorry but I can't help, first begin in Jura (part of Switzerland):

I'm the only owner of a Pacer there actually. Somehow proud, but lonely!

Here my Pacer:

My V8, the only Pacer in Jura so far...

I have to restore it, and it will be done by... 2004!

FRANCE: THE Success story of the Pacer!

About 2000 came here over, mainly for the show or business people!

Here a sample of the advertisement that made the Pacer such nice butted... car!

Yes, it's BRIGITTE BARDOT on the Pacer! She owned one for several years, the car has been sold for  26'000 FRF (about 5'000$...) in a French auction back in 1997....
Other personalities have enjoyed their Pacer: Coluche, France Gall, Mireille Darc...

Here another French Pacer, long owned by Christophe Salvaing!
  

François Clerget drives since 15 years a Pacer 1976 very good condition, now (1999) by it's original 120.000 kms.

In May 2003, the AMC-Club organized a little meeting in Alsace (in France) where not less the 9 Pacer came. Three of them came from Switzerland and the rest from France. There is about 350 Pacers still registered in the single Ile-de-France region which include Paris...

In France, many Pacers have been loosing their big US engine for a Peugeot -Indenor Diesel engine, helping to have a good MPG (25 mpg) about double of the regular US-ones!

But those cars weren't to much good in performances of course. Those where transformed in Soissons for the exclusive dealer Jean Charles Automobiles.

At the meeting in Alsace was only a unique engine in a Pacer: a Chrysler-France 2 liters... ----->

Having much more power the the Diesel engines for about the same consumption.   

GERMANY: Not know how many, but must be a few around...

The 3 Pacer in the back are German ones. They were brought together for the TV Magazine Motorshow of the VOX-TV! You can download it here as a mpg or here as an avi file (quit big for slow connections).

Switzerland: in 1996, 54 Pacer where riding around legally. 2 years later, there where 36 left including a 4x4 that I unfortunately don't know exactly where in this small country! Go to the  Swiss Gremlin and Pacer Club to know more. It got again some activity in 1998.

A yellow Pacer from the city of Bienne, don't know what happened to it....

And here Ginette's Pacer from La Chaux-de-Fonds...

The car is actually fully loaded (TV, heating seats...).

Nederland: a few out there too, go to this site to know more!

SCANDINAVIA: Pacer where really appreciate over there as they could fit into a special law by condemning the rear seat and get therefore a low taxing! It seems there is still about 200 in Denmark and in Sweden... Contact the local AMC Club!

ITALIA: It seems there is at least 5 Pacer...

That one came from Germany and is now in Italy! Meet his owner!

ENGLAND: A Pacer has been seen by the President of the AMC PACER and GREMLIN club a few years ago!
