Does anyone remember Barry Iddon - he was a top bloke (possibly a scouser) who did a lot of good work for the Variety Club of Great Britain? He used to turn up to events a fair bit in the 90s - I think he appeared on 50th anniversary video where he was interviewed at the Worcester International. Anyways, this 2CV has many of his 'hallmarks' The only pics I can find at present:     Taken from here: http://www.citroenet.org.uk/phototheque ... ly-03.html

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
The dash has slightly different holes in the Ebay listing, it could be "inspired by"? Or re-faced with a new bit of ply?
This seller has had some interesting stuff for sale in the past - a recent 4 light Dyane had my BIN finger twitching, but something didn't feel right.

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
on another note, how do we feel about this? Apart from it being from everyone's favourite seller and a lot of bloody money? Seems destined at that price to be stuck on eBay forever. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-2-CV- ... 4ac60b2f70

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
Comparing it to other sellers it's reasonable priced as its MOT'd and taxed. And it is an export AZAM so it's properly rare. If I had a spare 3k knocking about I'd have that.

I'm not saying it's that actual car - Barry seemed to go through, or at least own a few. In the video interview he said most of his cars were built using bits he'd find lying around or scrapyard parts - not necessarily sourced from 2CVs or even Citroens.

Sorry Neil don't know why I said that to be honest, brain not catching up with typing.
