Re: There's gold in them there grilles! "In the United States, it is known as a 2CV."  WTF?

Re: There's gold in them there grilles! So there's roughly 25 cars a year leaving France for the US, never to return.  Count the 2CVs... https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Euroca ... s&t=h&z=20

Re: There's gold in them there grilles! There's gold in them there grilles! Pt IIISomeone 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".
