Long, long ago... a fellow student and proud owner of a Renault Dauphine, had an unusual problem.

In cold weather, it would start ok, but it was in gear and rolling! Turning off the ignition, or standing on the brake would stop it.
A few laps around the parking lot and the neutral function would return. More laps for colder weather.

He even had a path through the grass and snow to avoid traffic. And it was well used.

Other than that, it was a fine automobile, always started, used little gas.
And rest assured, the price was right.
