I do rather like the idea of the 4x4 Sahara version. It has the clever idea of a second engine and gearbox in the boot, usefully doubling the power as well. Never seen one in the wild

They're very much a "ronseal" car i.e. does exactly what it says on the tin. Likewise the original Mini. And to a certain extent too, the Austin Seven. They were all designed with a very specific target audience and job in mind, and they all did it very well.

Citroen ran a brilliant advert back in the day. Toyota or Honda had run and ad comparing the optional equipment on the Beemer which was standard even on their own more ordinary cars. Citroen did the same but showing all the stuff the 2CV didn't have:leci windows -no, air con -no etc, then fanbelt -no, water pump -no, ah yes very clever, then it goes distributor -no. Hang on WTF? Rather cleverly it sparks both cylinders twice each 4 stroke cycle but only the one with petrol init fires

Wasted spark. Beautifully simple, like me.
