Yes, correct, but as this is AutoPuzzles, to grant a point I want to know more. This Vedette has been modified. Guess what has been done to the car, it's not the only Vedette that has received this treatment.

Was it really modified per se, or is it one of the Vedettes that were manufactured in Brazil?

It is a French Vedette that had a big, but hardly visible aftermarket modification.

Si I guess it must have something to do with the engine, right?

What about a diesel engine in place of the fuel-unsavy V8?

Yes, that's the modification done to this gas guzzler. Name the diesel engine's maker and the point is yours.
Locked for you.

Since Peugeot was among the first manufacturers to offer diesel cars in France, my answer is: Peugeot!

Not a Peugeot engine, but very close as the engine in question is connected to the Peugeot Diesel.

So it must be from Citroën since both companies used similar diesel engines.
