REG: Right. You're in. Listen. The only people we hate more than the Romans are the f**king Judean People's Front.

P.F.J.: Yeah...

JUDITH: Splitters.

P.F.J.: Splitters...

FRANCIS: And the Judean Popular People's Front.

P.F.J.: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Splitters. Splitters...

LORETTA: And the People's Front of Judea.

P.F.J.: Yeah. Splitters. Splitters...

REG: What?

LORETTA: The People's Front of Judea. Splitters.

REG: We're the People's Front of Judea!

LORETTA: Oh. I thought we were the Popular Front.

REG: People's Front! C-huh.

FRANCIS: Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Reg?

REG: He's over there.

P.F.J.: Splitter!

Best film ever made

Exceptional fully rebuilt green and white D*lly sitting in my yard at the moment. Belongs to a mate and is up for sale. RHD but shortly going on French plates. The paint job cost 6K. Anyone interested PM me

That's what one of the three initial colour schemes was, and close to a second...

The truth is mate, when I had my first car (knackered even then!) you could literally buy one new, pick it up from the dealer and drive straight to a meeting. We did tend to look down on those who just turned up when we'd put in a lot of work to keep ours on the road, pretty much like those who would take a brand new MGF to MG owners club meetings maybe.

Of course, things are different now that there are a lot less on the roads

As a postscript, it should be noted that this scheme backfired rather badly in those climates where the Ami's multitude of rust traps ensured that it became the donor, rather than the recipient, of mechanical spares...

I was living just round the corner from a Cit dealer in 1989/90 - and watching the last few loads of 2cvs being unloaded from the transporter, trying to wonder how (as a broke student) I could raise the £3500 or whatever it was to upgrade from my S-reg drummer...

Who the hell chose that name though and why ? I mean they didnt end other proletariat (?) vehicles 40 year production runs with such indignity did they, imagine the austin mini teddy or the vw beetle fairy. Or the renault 4 Barbie

Presumably, because of the fairly strong link in to the Charleston, and the '30s bauhaus-inspired shape of the 2cv.

Mmm still dont think it worked for the car though (seeing as most probably wouldnt think of that ) imo of course

in all fairness, i dont see whats wrong with the D*lly's? they are just another 2cv...

the charlestons don't get slated for being 2 colours, the cocorico.. not that we had it? the Spot? everyone loves the Spots? but that was just a special edition based on the 2cv4! the bamboo was a special ed which was exactly the same as a D*lly...

The D*lly was just a variation of the Special with a few added extras like an interior light,black surround grille, chrome sill strips and a parcel shelf type cover between the back seats and bootlid! They are just another 2cv at the end of the day just with different coloured wings and bootlid, and with some vinyl on the doors!...
