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!
http://www.leboncoin.fr/vi/13535005.htm?ca=10_s
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!

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! |

| 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. |

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.
