 And these? Although three of them aren't much use.

Me too actually, I'm becoming more enamoured of the older stuff except for their engines. You really can't use a 425 in the Uk without hassle I would have thought. Unusual trim or period after-market parts are always an interesting variation, I like seeing them. I know what you mean  But if like me, you live near the countryside, then it's perfectly useable to drive to the pub in the next village

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
Yeh, which is why it might still cut it in rural France where it was designed to be. Manchester however, is very unforgiving place to the slow of wit or speed I'm afraid.  This can't be right can it? £300 euro. http://www.leboncoin.fr/utilitaires/142050447.htm?ca=6_s

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
Sure can. Some farmers have no clue what the marked is doing and are selling cars cheap. Normally these bargins are snapped up real quickly. Had it been close I would have been there in a flash.

It's not like farmers to undersell something... Depending on circumstances a new Carte de Grise is possible. Yes they do undersell as majority of farmers are not in anyway connected to the 2cv world. To them the A model mainly fourgonnette ( AK and Acadiane) was nothing more than a work vehicle.

Nice to see how friendships are formed across broders around the world. I will collect the Ami ASAP. Need to arrange the truck, the Ami do have Carte de Grise but no Controle Technique so not legal to drive. Looking forward to meet you. Cheers Viking bastard  Spanners, collection time today at 17.30. Photos later
