Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds Snowy wrote: Totally agree with you, Old-Nail EXCEPT to point out (like an irritating smartarse git) that John died before X-plates came out, so he couldn't be one of the previous owners.  My car is also X reg despite being made in 1978, so it is possible. I think DVLA were issuing registration based on import dates rather than date of manufacture at that time. So my car could have been owned by Jean-Paul, George & Ringo, but I don't know why someone would want to import a D*lly. Miarke

Yeah maybe  Anyway what's wrong with a shagged out x reg D*lly with a buggered chassis and knackered mechanicals for £3K, its still probably more of a bargain than some of the £11K 2CV's I've seen advertised lol

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds Anyone out there really owned a 2cv that once belonged to anyone famous?
Mate of mine once owned a Fiat Panda who's previous owner was Patsy Kensit!
No fibs please.

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds Matt S wrote: Right ..........
My/spanners/russ old sidewinder is on e-bay. Day left to run. It needs some TLC and has like 1 week MOT left. I am bidding and hope to buy, so play nice please folks (wink wink) I've just bothered to lok at what it fetched in the end. Holy shit!! It's a hell of a lot more than it cost me to build and a hell of a lot more than I ever managed to sell it for either. Fair play to the guy. Anyone we know bought it?
