 1978 2cv6
This is my main car. It's 30 years old, it lives outside, and is used all year round. Yet it just keeps going, and holds itself together much better than most 1980s 2cvs do (though the odd bit of major welding helps keep it on the road!). I bought it in 1999, to take it to the Greek world meeting, and it is my favourite to drive of my 3 cars. It's very hoonable and has loads of character. It's brush painted and far from original, but so what? This picture was taken in Norway, on the way back from the Swedish world meeting.

 Re: 1978 2cv6
Here's an old picture of it, taken a few months after I bought it in 1999.  And here's a recent pic, from this year's French National.

 Re: 1978 2cv6
Does this mean you won't be covering vast swathes of Sheffield in blue smoke any more?! Shame, could almost see people trying to figure out which old looking car was causing it.
