Re: Van Clee GRP, heavy, look dreadful.
There's a reason why they never took off and Meharis did. There's also a reason why Meharis are ABS not GRP. And there's a reason why the GRP Mehari copy is slow. GRP is great for boats, terrible for cars.

Re: Van Clee To many projects, and I spend most of the day deciding which one to work on.

Re: Van Clee He breaks them down into bite-size pieces, even disassembling engines in order to maximise profit. Seems that he's not yet familiar with the breed, judging by this listing on eBay for a '425cc' cylinder head...  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-2cv- ... :rk:2:pf:0 subarupete wrote: Why does he dismantle all of his cars??

Re: Van Clee p.s. A current offering from the Oxford Abbatoir... Here for sale is a manifold and Solex 34 pics carb assembly with ram style intake originally made for Citroen 2cv Kit car/Special........RARE PART.. . There are many good reasons why this would be a 'rare part', I'd reckon.  . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Special-mani ... rk:30:pf:0
