Google translation; 2CV smashed the van A Citroen 2CV crashed Friday morning with a van on Farumvej-sensor. There were fortunately no one was seriously injured in the accident Bet the driver's got quite a headache though, looking at where the steering wheel ended up.  ken Eastbourne 2cv6 wrote: Not a fatal accident I hope? |

Nice to see the 2cv stood up well to the impact, the front 'crumple zone' doing it's job and leaving the 'safety cell' with very little distortion. I wonder(hope) if the position of the steering wheel might be to do with the front axle being pushed back, and the column pivoting about the top mounting. |

Joolz, from what I've seen, it's chassis which are already weakened by corrosion which allow the front axle mounting point to be pushed back or to rotate in a head-on crash. If you have a look at the article on Jeroen Cats' site and study the photographs, the position of the steering wheel does not appear to have altered... http://www.cats-citroen.net/citroen_2cv ... htest.html Also worth having a look at the chassis crash test videos which Mehari Cassis have on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNClHCSl ... er&list=UL The three types of chassis (origine, cataphorèse & galvanisé ) have different results in frontal impact testing, which is to be expected since they also have different results during torsion testing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51bPwv-6 ... playnext=1 The question might be, which one did they submit for TÜV approval, given that TÜV require all of the physical characteristics of a replacement chassis to be within 2.5% of those of a Citroen 'original' chassis?  ken Joolz wrote: Nice to see the 2cv stood up well to the impact, the front 'crumple zone' doing it's job and leaving the 'safety cell' with very little distortion.
