Right,

Heres a car im about to buy. Its currently my dads but im kindly taking it off his hands.
This car was previously owned by James Duffell. He had way to many 2cvs. So had to sell some.



Heres the car in question...To be honest i dont no to much of about its history. It's travelled 176,000 + miles so far, including to San Francisco and back. Duffell might catch wind of this and give you guys some info.

Two resons why were getting this car... Vick needs a car. (My girlfriend finally converted to a-series. ) And september 11th were hoping to book a one way ferry to Europe.
Reason : We have to be out the house. And to be hionest i quite fancy packing up a leaving for a year. Becasue i can.

I have started this thread really for your input really. I got this so i dont take the van becasue ill be gutted if a trash that.

Although we will be doing motorways etc.
I also want to be able to go off road for long lengths. In all terrain in all countries. So id be looking to take on anything within reason. The usual water driving aswell. (Im not going to ask vicks opinion on this.)

Any ideas? Im guessing im going to be looking at a raid type ready car?

Cheers.
Max.

WOW!! Sounds amazing, you lucky guy. I'd love to take a year off and just explore Europe, good luck mate.

Offroad in Europe . It can be anything from Latvian dirtroad to french mud. Eastern Europe is nice and cheap. So the car. Just as is, as long it is not full of rust. Put some more lights both front and back and inside. Put the kicthen sink back and cover it with sheet and lock and u have a good storage for extra money and papers. No one will find that place for them.

This is the thing. I want it ready for anything. and as you said eastern europe will be our long stop area. I really want to look at doing poland, russia and ukraine (i want a kiev in kiev.)

Im going to come to yours for tea pete.

So which way you are starting? To Norway or? That way or from Russia to is not so far to us. Something more will offer to you, be sure.

The complete opposite... haha im sick of cold winters so were going to greece.

But hanging around for the van meet (although not in a van) and Spa. Idealy we would love to get in as many european meetings as we can. I shall make it my mission to personally invite all clubs to I2F. Now thats dedication.!

WOW max, thats ace! good on you!
tie spares to the inside like oboe and your dad, front and rear lights as mentioned, sump and tank guards (might have some you can use as a template off my military Mehari that i forgot to re-fit!) lecky screen washer, modern fuse box, I2F sticker and some tunes... !

talk to the 4x4 guys!

TIM
