Neil,
Bertie's Bedouin was for sale a while back, I was surprised that your patented net-monitoring system didn't pick it up, although it was a fairly obscure site which carried the listing...

Hi Neil

That's the Bedouin I have Needing attention before it is driven though.
Having said that, I cannot knock Bertie White for all of his efforts to save the Bed from the scrap yard.

Cheers

Welcome - another TAFF - I escaped many years ago...

I always have been rubbish at introductions but hello and thanks for having me. I´m a brit living in catalunya, ex architect turned furniture designer with a new found passion for small tinny cars.! I´ve always renovated old stuff and as I´m trying to sell the mk 3 cortina, It would be sinful to not have a replacement prepared. I saw an abandoned azu in a field in all its rust and glory and fell in love, unfortunately I missed the sale by 2 weeks as at the same time my works van died, and everyone insisted on me being sensible and getting my priorities straight.

since then I´ve looked at a newish aks400 (which I thought would be great for some aged signwriting) but then realised that as a old commercial vehicle in spain I´d have to mot/ITV it every 6 months

sooooo..now seen a very clean light bluish 2cv6 full of rat droppings which will have my name on the paperwork as soon as I get a damn cheque cleared .

plan is lowering and channeling in a tasteful way...ideally air ride also would be a dream come true..plenty of scanning through this forum to be done first

cheers all sig

Welcome sig

Best of luck...

Hi everyone,

Just realised how rude I've been and not introduced myself yet!

I'm Steve, I live in Northants and I'm currently getting a 1988 2CV back on the road. My first car was a Beachbucket (my brother's) that I drove from 1994-1998. This had various mods along the way, 650 engine with rally cam, Piazza seats, Mountney steering wheel, lowered etc. Then came a D*lly, which I converted to electric in 1999, and used to commute to work for a year, before the rust became too much and it sat on the drive for several years.

Now I'm back with a bargain car I picked up locally, £450 and it's got a good replacement Citroen chassis and just needs the rear seat belt mounts replacing, a new hood and a respray. I've already got a new rear seat off ebay for £2.40, does anyone have good condition Spec front seats, or is it possible to just get new front seat covers anywhere?

Steve

Welcome!

If you get a spare 5 mins please start a thread on your latest aquistion.

Will do Neil.

BTW, I claim no responsibility for the state of the Beachy in the above pictures!

Steve

If you have a word with ds21h on here, he might be able to show you pics after the restoration!
