I used to have one just like this! Mine had less dents and less rust, but otherwise it was pretty much the same.
I cannot tell you how wonderful it feels to be behind the wheel of a 2CV. Every moment is an adventure.
On several occasions I drove up to England in her. Before leaving, a friend would always say "You'll never make it", and she would laugh uncontrollably. I always did 'make it', and the car always behaved impeccably.
We've considered buying another one, but they now have serious rarity value; one in really good condition (unlike the above) would fetch quite a price.

There was a time when everyone's 1st car was a 2CV here - crazy, as I think they required more skill to drive than any of the alternatives at the time.
ReplyDeleteI think my 4L was worse!
ReplyDeleteThey're so cool. I want one!
ReplyDeleteI remember those 2CV, the receptionist at work used to drive one. One tank of fuel would take you for miles!!
ReplyDeleteJust a little paint and some oil . . .
