History
The PL 17 cabriolet was shown at the 1960 Paris Motor Show as a 1961 model. It had two doors and the trim of the Grand Standing saloon. Albert D’Ieteren built the body in Belgium; production later moved to France on a limited basis.
The club catalogue lists the cabriolet as type L5 in 1961 and type L8 in 1963, and it leaves the range in 1964. The L2 export type of 1960 is a separate type and is not counted here.
