Post Wheeler dealer AZU in France.
This was on discovery channel yesterday... Not much was correct what they said or did. They told at first it was an 18HP engine (no 12 or 13,5). They did say that they installed a centrifugal clutch. Didn't see them doing it and it wouldn't fit on an non centrifugal gearbox. They fiddled around with a carb and the jets, but they didn't show how or what so i doubt that too. They found an original rear seat frame (narrower) and then they installed normal seat cusions that overlapped quite a bit in the middle. Much blabla... :mrgreen:

Bought by the motoring journalist Andrew Frankel, who still owns it 10 years on from the episode. He's a good friend of another motoring journalist, Chris 'Monkey' Harris, who also owns a ripple 2CV. They've done a video of their cars together...

Chris Harris has also done a stand alone film of his 2CV and his love of 2CVs...

Andrew Frankel has been the editor of MotorSport Magazine and did a film driving Henry 'Tim' Birkin's Blower Bentley, which is one of my all time favourite motoring films...

Oh I love that Chris Harris has that ripple. I saw the video before.
