Re: 2cv Vans: Dummies Guide Wow... Large ripples, teddy bear indicators, don't know which engine though - or is that a M4 torpedo lurking under the R/H side?
Where are you getting all this stuff, Neil?

Re: 2cv Vans: Dummies Guide 'Course, I should have read the brochure properly - 21 bhp and 7.75:1 compression says M4...
That trim strip keeps cropping up, both with small and large ripples - you want a nice shiny bit, Senor?

To be fair, if it's got aks400 written on it, and it's labelled aks400 in the literature, does that not make it an aks400? A rose by any other name... OR here's a completely unfounded theory based on nothing but my minds desire to have everything neatly labeled and categorised... does an aks400 have small ripples, being an AK350 with a higher roof, and an AKS400 have large ripples? (with a different engine?)

Re: 2cv Vans: Dummies Guide Hmmm, i think late 350's; May? 1968> were M28 powered. Were these available on the French & Belgian, Dutch, etc markets whilst Spanish built & home marketed were still running M4's? The van above, Sam, is badged as an AKS 400 but it's running a M4 engine, which if what you're suggesting that AK 400 was a 350 with a raised roof wouldn't that be M4 & the 'different' engine you suggest be an M28? We know that Spanish AKS 400's were fitted with M4's up until? mid 70's?    confusing, isn't it!

Re: 2cv Vans: Dummies Guide That strip along the side, could well be covering a join, it's hard to tell but looking at the inside of that van there's what appears to be a join, or at least a swage that isn't there on a 'normal' 400
