I'll be laughing out loud 'til someone buys it! :-?
the lister is either very fond of the car or fond of their opinion of it!
Let's see what it goes for............. ::)

2cv is quite a sought after car tbh, a doddle to work on. can drop the engine out in half hour on these. :y

Only the French could build something as rubbish as that (How many times have you needed to drive across a field with a box of eggs - the original spec it was based on!) and only the British could be daft enough to buy it!

i beg to differ. a great little motor. cheap as chips tp run. & a peice of cake to work on. im not biased at all of course, nothing to do with the 5 years i spent fixing em. :D

I of all people should know the appeal of the 2CV & understand the cult following they have & i admit they're not a bad little motor, i've driven a couple & they're quite a giggle to drive, but £4 grand?

   Leave it out!!!! ::)

And how long to fit a proper one in the first place?

Mate of mine's dad used to work on these.
He said something about them having side linked suspension?

Sound precarious at best lol.

But yeah, they are a tool, designed for a purpose....but in no way of earth is it worth 4k.

I love all classic cars though tbh and that design is iconic is it not!
