Theres not a lot of point in talking just look at the pics, while out yesterdayI found this place, everything is for sale, not all at once of course but thats his business retro breaking
I let my son take the photos while I looked, he didnt cover half of it as he ran round in circles like a headless chicken
not to upset the chap I bought this
What about this!! for you 2CV fans tis is very special it marche bien but needs work and he wants 6000€ for it it will fetch 12-15000€ restored
Thats me realising what I am looking at

The only thing that is missing is a nice french lady. If that was included, I'd move to France, and.....  |

I'm sure I've read an article where the Royal Navy used them as light-weight assault vehicles - or something military like that.
There was a picture doing the rounds a while back, probably that's where I've seen them before. |

Yes there was a 2cv pickup I have seen a couple here not just military
There are a lot of homemade ones as they are very easy to do as the body is not structural and lends it self to being cut about
That 2cv BTW was a "camping" as no one asked only made for 4months in 1955, the seats all come out and have a special table attached to create a piknik set like rocking horse poo!!
The 3 little vans are "estafettes" based on the R4 chassis lengthened, very nice little vehicles small too, not much bigger than a Kangoo without a bonnet
For a scrap yard it was indeed very tidy and orderly, he asked me to find for him any english sportscar in LHD MGs frogeye sprites etc, good money in them at the moment he said _________________ www.OldFrenchCars.com
