Post subject:  My 1987 2cv D*lly.
Joined this forum ages ago and just sort of forgot about it. Heres one of my 2cv's. Its a plum and custard D*lly. Dad bought it about 11 years ago at Tesco's and i've taken it on after passing my driving test a few years ago.
It has a chassis like a patchwork quilt but its still holding together quite well. Its used regularly in weathers and its always very reliable. You may have seen it at some of the London to Brighton's but those were the only 2cv events I went to. Photos of it below, hopefully you'll all approve.

Looks like a tidy motor. I like the "two horses" picture 8-) .

It was parked just outside Tesco with a little for sale sign on the window. We only went there to buy some chocolate......

I've got some new shoes for the Charleston just haven't got round to fitting them. Hopefully once that's replaced it should be a bit better.

Driven the D*lly today with the roof rolled back, as you do in December. When I opened the roof I noticed some mould has started growing on the inside.
The hood is only a few months old and I'd like to keep it looking new. The Charleston doesn't seem to have this problem.
Does anyone know how to clean the mould without making it worse???
