I'd always wanted a 2cv as my family have had loads and bought mine in March 2006 from a chap in Southampton. He'd driven her the 2 miles to work everyday so the engine hadn't really done any hard runs. She was only on 62,000 which wasn't bad. The chassis was a bit of a patchwork but all in all the body work was good. She was advertised at £1250 with a year's MOT and 6 months tax. Immediate problems were the roof, rear window, upholstery. In view of this I paid quite a bit less than that. I made a silly offer which (to appease my guilt) he didn't have to accept ![]() ![]() I'd refused to learn to drive for years and it was only buying her that really gave me the urge to learn. My first 2cv event was the L2B in '06 where I joined 2CVGB. (In fairness I'd done the L2B before in a 2cv... but I was only a week old ![]() ![]() 2006 I've never been prejudiced against anyone in my life, or subscribed to social stereotyping. That is until I was hit from behind by a 4x4. Driven by a women. Who was blonde ![]() I was lucky in that I managed to get the chassis changed and repair work done on insurance, however, sadly my choice of 'specialist' was a little, silly ![]() After the chassis change I fitted running boards and a Harringtons interior which I really like. She's my daily (and only) car and a 100% practical for my purposes. I think that's why I love it so much. It's cheap to run and fun to drive. And comes with a ready made social scene ![]() Through owning my 2cv I've met some really great people and gone to some great places. Sam

The boot lid is pretty mashed, I'm not sure how/if FJ will deal with that, they're an awfull lot new ![]() It is kinda cool how the handle is sliced in half. There's a lot of paint come off as the boot lid crumpled in, but until it's removed I can't see if its damaged the rear panel at all. |
