citroen 2cv

[iandromiskin]

Just wondered if anyone knew of any good sites that sell the above in Ireland or the UK ? Not looking for a show stopper just an everyday driver in good rust free condition. Any suggestions ?

I always used to see the "Tin Snail co" next to the railway in Worthing. Not sure if they've moved or ceased trading since though...;

Great cars! Cheap to buy in France and drive it home. Hopeless in winter of course.........

Anyone else notice how expensive 2cvs have become?

Assuming BMecosse you mean winter cold? When I had one it was fine in winter (albeit down in softy London ) Did you use the winter radiator muff to limit cold air going over engine?

Anyhow, sites:

Hmm you've started me looking now as I might get a runaround or project later this year... (Minor, 2CV, Morris Oxford..)

Yes - it was miserably cold in winter - quite impractical with many drafts and useless heater. But ours was not a new car - and the 4 wheels all seemed to point in slightly different directions - so the slightest trace of slippyness and the car was completely uncontrollable....... Great car in summer - I used it to travel 20 miles each way to work - foot to the floor almost all the way - through countryside - nothing ever passed me, and not becasue i had a line of traffic following me - and the top furled back at every opportunity - it was great!
