One For Classic Car Fans.....

Last one I saw out in the wild was ages ago, so deffo pre-covid. Was a red van type one.

There's a few around here. There's at least another one in the town, it's white.

I remember staying for a few days at a campsite between lockdowns in the COVID days and happening to be there when the Irish 2CV owners' club was there. About 14 2CVs, a few Dyanes and also a few C15 camper conversions who were accompanying them. I have a picture of my 205 in the middle of them all but it's on another computer.

I like the 2CV. The engineering hits the brief like almost no other car since.

I loved their adverts back in the day. On of the Jap makers ran an add with a tick list all the optional extras on a beemer or whatever which were all standard on their own car. Citroen did the same for their 2CV showing all the things it didn't have, initially various luxuries, then it had "radiator -no, fanbelt -no" then "distributor -no" Hang on, what? Cleverly both cylinders spark each stroke but only the one with petrol in it actually lights - clever or what?
