Citroën 2CV6

Great result!

Nice! Definitely get it back together. I've got an oil in frame Triumph, let me know if you need any bits or to borrow any tools. Have you got any photos of it with the tank on?

Not that I can find, I do however have this under my desk.

When I drove the car home , it was quite startling as to the mirrors inadequacy compared to modern vehicles.
So I rebuilt them with new pivots, convex glass and seals hopefully they’re better.
I’ve not driven it much , but have ironed out a few niggles, brakes, speedo etc.
Hopefully I’ll get a good run out soon enough.
Here it is resplendent with the new mirrors.

Excellent work!

so pretty. great work dude.

and agree with @furious_tiles this roof looks so much nicer.

i was reminded of this car again last night as i watched American Graffiti. in among all the big american cars was richard dreyfuss with his little 2CV.

anyway. this one is cracking.

looking forward to seeing you on the drag strip when this nonsense is all over.

I would never dispute that you’re a man of great taste.

Now living in Wales, I’m unlikely to ever see this wonderful car.
However that does not stop it from bringing me a fair amount of joy knowing that it’s been done to such a high standard that it’ll be around for many more years.

Cheers both, I drove to work in it yesterday and I’m remembering how to drive one again. It has been a few years and it’s most definitely not a modern car experience.
There’s a few rattles and a bit of finishing off to sort out, but at least I’ve got mirrors, speedo and fuel gauge now.

Amazing!

So I took it for a 1500 mile trip to Cork to pick up a new navigator in September 2020.

We’ve had a few adventures since, his navigation skills aren’t the best but every journey is a joy.

The perfect 2CV dog. Glad you are getting so much use out of it. Old Citroens are an absolute joy (even when they don't always work)

Cheers hopefully we’re going to the world meeting in Switzerland this year.
It got postponed because of you know what.

Lovely story...well done in saving industrial heritage!

Butter wouldn’t melt!

Where’s Pedro going for his after walk pint on a Saturday now … ?

We've not really decided or found anywhere yet, but we're open to suggestions and if nothing else easily led.

What an excellent thread - discovered it last night and read all the way through. And what a lovely dog!

Cheers

I was just clearing photos and thought an update maybe due. I’m not sure if saving industrial heritage is tongue in cheek or not…

Absolutely straight up...I meant it....I love it.

Thanks

Were you part of the 2cv rally I just passed near Butser Hill? Absolutely tremendous.
