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:

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.

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.

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.

Agreed, I've often looked at that auction, it's a nice car and reasonably priced for what it is.

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