…featured a ‘Running Guide’ on owning a 2cv.
The article contains lots of useful information for potential 2cv purchasers including price guides.
The expert who provided the information for the article suggested that a ‘basket case’ 2cv could be had for as little as £600 - £800 while a fully restored example could fetch £6-8k. Fully restored ripples bonnets meanwhile often exceed £10k.
The lovely G reg bamboo featured in the article was provided by a Kent based specialist, however there was no mention in the article of the rather creative rear panel – see for yourself.
In all seriousness – it’s a totally pants piece of writing, to me it read as if it had been written with a “this is a silly looking car lets write really tongue in cheek.” Pah.
It was a good bit of PR for 2CVGB, although the text implied that you should always check out SPOG before looking elsewhere. Ecas gets a good mention too though.
I was just irritated by the article – I hate being branded as owning a car that ‘barely has enough power to escape a paper bag’ (WTF??).
I was also disappointed a well as annoyed. I was properly chuffed to see a big pic of a 2cv on a magazine cover – then felt totally let down by the incompetent writing.
Sad, very sad - it could have been really good. But it wasn't.
