 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
Hmmmmm, I just looked at the section beneath the rear doors. Or rather, I wasn't looking at the section beneath the rear doors as most of it appears to be missing!

I am now very excited as to what my van might be worth.

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
It has no market it's not what people want. Minilite wheels and metallic paint belong on..well on Mini's. A properly refurbished 2cv in a classic Citroen colour scheme has the nostalgia factor, that car just doesn't. It's too flash for traditionalists to expensive for the younger crowd.

Agree.
You'd have to be either incredibly thick-skinned or completely brain dead to be seen behind the wheel of that thing. It shouts 'Twat'.

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
Don't hold back DA - say what you think (Living up to your 'handle')
I think ON had it right when he pointed out the lack of a substantial market for that kind of car. As discussed in other threads the 2CV is just not expensive enough to make a time intensive restoration a commercial viability - People do it for love, and because they can. If they try to recoup that investment it's always going to be a struggle.
As one of the major suppliers of 2CV parts in the Uk I hope they can recover some of the costs - Whoever you favour to get bits from it is usually good for the market as a whole if there are plenty of viable suppliers.
