"Mr. Slade sells most of his remade cars for $20,000 to $25,000, depending on the paint configuration and optional equipment, which may include higher-grade interior trim and engine modifications." :shock:

"In the United States, it is known as a 2CV." :? WTF?

So there's roughly 25 cars a year leaving France for the US, never to return. :(

Count the 2CVs...

There's gold in them there grilles! Pt III
Someone just told me that there's an article (well, advertorial) in, if I remember correctly, the latest Classic And Sports Car magazine, telling of a specialist company in Wiltshire that is boasting of building and selling small-time production brand-new classic Citroen 2CVs, for a guaranteed price of £8650. Haven't seen the article, but I'm told the company is called "The 2CV Shop". ;)
