Not an ebay ad but this AZ 2cv is priced at what you would expect to pay for the bonnet alone here in the UK!

It may look a state but those older cars are often much better made than the 80's stuff, for 500 euro's it's a bargain.

I went through the entire site Greeney, just put 2cv in the search bar and quite a few came up, 11 pages I think.

There were several good projects, look at this one for under 1000



and this one had me biting my knuckles in exasperation! 700 euro's!



and finally one of those oldies for sale was wearing the rare type steering wheel that I want! Aargh! Confused

think you'll have to buy one O-N, then decide how to pay for it and bring it back afterwards Smile ideally find a runner and drive it back. A friend of mine went to France looking for a 2CV a few years ago and found a one-owner 1960 in a barn. He fettled it up and drove it home.

This one looks good (albeit more £$), and the vendors yard looks like it could be worth a visit too. Handily its in the North so not too far to go either!!

When I brought the bodyshell home last week it fit inside the back of a large van easily, maybe a full car would!

It would of course be much more fun to drive it home. I fancy a four light ripple for my next 2cv but a good solid van at 700 euro's can't be ignored!

true a van would be very handy for collecting 2CV bits in during a drive around France perhaps??

I'd be happy just to buy a complete good bodyshell and doors from a four light vehicle. The running gear wouldn't matter too much as I would be using a galvanised chassis and 602 motor on the rebuild to make it every day usable.
