Once again, Nicolas from Italy sent me a mail. He was looking for a good engine for his bright yellow Special and found a drive. There were some more parts connected to the engine, all belonging to a grey Charleston. Well-mannered 2CV drivers don't scrap a 2CV and so he started to overhaul his new acquisition - congratulation!

dean shippet his 2CV from the UK to the USA:
"Hi Norbert,
my car has gotten here from the UK yet, the 2CV is not common in the USA. But it is a 1985 model, I am bringing it over as a project car. I do not know if I will do a complete restoration or make it in to a Pembleton (kitcar) yet that I will know once I can get a better look at it."

Absolutely fantastic are the pictures of this 2cv owned by Alex from Bulgaria:
"I own the Charleston since 5 years now. I drive it every day when it's dry or sunny. I've done 40k on the speedo. I've rebuilt the chassis with the TUV one from Franzose, changed the braking system and pistons and cylinders with 9:1. I've rebuilt, restored and adjusted almost everything possible on the mechanics, interior and engine. Thanks to your website the process was easier. The paint of the body is original, so there are some rust at the back and over the rear wings. I haven't dealed with the body yet, as I wait for the economic crises to finish :) I'm an architect and the projects almost seized the last two years."

Some more great pictures ar at the Homepage of Alex, which ist written in Russian language, but the pictures and videos are international.


2CV Gunnar
Gunnar wrote about his curious threewheeler:
"I got my 2CV two years ago from my children as a present for my 50th aniversery; they had overhauled many parts of it. The chassi was good enough for the last vehicle inspection. Until today it became even more rusty and I decided to replace it. In doing so I will also replace all the little somethings. Here you can see a picture from the 6th June. Meanwhile I have disassembled the whole undercarriage."

Now David is finally looking glad again. "2Go" is the picture showing himself and his reasembled car tellingly named.
"Hello Norbert,

There are good news about my project. Last week on thursday my 2CV got a brand new TÜV sticker after a short check in a garage (adjusting lights, body height et cetera). Now it is registered with the numberplate TS-CV26. After two years of work, the population of wheeled ducks increased about 1. Hopefully I can contribute to the survival of a great car ;)"

Your car is great advertisement for the 2CV - congratulation!

"...it still takes some time until it will be back on the road."
That's the lapidary comment of Ingmar about his project. So there is enough time to deliver some more pictures of the well done construction progress and some information about the car. I am waiting curious...

Jan from Poland wrote a mail because he needed some infos about his 2CV engine. Those drive is not placed in a car, but in a hovercraft!
He uses a 425cc engine, which is why I could not answer all of his questions, because I only own 'Big Block' engines with 602cc. Nevertheless he sent me pictures of his interesting project.


2CV
In the middle of 2011 Dominik sent me a mail, because he had some questions about replacing the kinpins. He called himself a technical greenhorn (like his car). His knowledge about 2CV technology grew up during the overhauling procedure and on April the 22nd in 2012 I got the mail:
"The valley of tears is crossed!
We have inspection sticker!!!"

We would like to congratulate!!!

"My name is Ole Bjørn I'm from Norway and bought the car two years ago. 2cv 6 special mod 1985 found it in the woods as it had been for 6 years. Built it up from thewreck. Welding, painting. it's my wife's birthday present."

That's the way a man can tell it's wife that he really loves her !


2CV 2CV
Peter from Wien (Austria) owns his 2CV for a very long time. Here is what he told me about his car:

"I got my duck on May the 21st of 1986, brand new...

I never had driven one before. There was an campaign where you could lease a 2CV for 200,-ÖS (about 70DM, 35,-€) per month, over a period of 2 years... It was the special edition "Jeans", colored in white with round headlights, blue seat covers and those curious sikers at the doors which I did not put on my car...

Since that I am driving the car at all weathers, but not for many kilometers per year. Right now there are approximately 143.000km on the speedometer.

I traveled to the Adria, the Toskana, to the Ucka in Croatia, to Switzerland, heavy duty trips at the mountains, long rides along streambeds with four persons and lots of luggage... Of course there was a trip over the Großglockner... Some moves and an emergency transport of 9 youngsters together with their luggage (the roof was opened and the distance short)

The most funny thing happened many years before. I was told to drive a cleaning crew of three persons over the country. It was winter an I had Michelin summer tires on my car (I never owned winter tires). When I saw the three persons first, I was in doubt if my car would be suitable for this job. One woman was tiny and thin, which was ok...the second woman was not much bigger, but wide (we pushed the front seats to the back and pulled her into the car). There was not much space left for me to steer the car...

At last the man, about 190cm tall and anything else but slim, more than 100kg. He was sitting behind me. I had to push the rear door slightly to be able to close it...

The trip started. The duck was driving uphill with the 2nd gear and the higher we climbed, the more snow was falling. It was a nice trip untill we reached a long downhill section with a sharp turn at the end, following another uphill section...

Downhill was very easy, but I thought we would need as much speed as possible for the uphill section. Until that point of the trip it was very funny inside the car, but while the turn came closer, the voices became silent. Somehow I made my way through the turn, but there was still the uphill section to be managed....

Full throttle! The surface of the road was veeery slippy and the 2CV became slower and slower. My passengers started breathing again after the turn was left behind. The 2CV slowed down and down and down. Somewhen it came to stop with spinning wheels and started slipping backward. 'Go out and stop the car!' I shouted to the man behind me and he really could get out of the car very quick (the car was still veeery slow). But than he fell down on his tummy...It was very slippy and the 2CV passed him still sliding downhill. The man stood up and digged his fingers into the front fender, trying to stop the car. 'Oh good not at this part of the car!' I shouted and so he had a hand on the bumper, which did not slow down the 2CV noticeably... But through the rear window I saw an area covered with crushed stone and I was lucky to stop the car there...

Now the tiny thin woman was steering the car (something she never did before) while we pushed it uphill for about 3km, which was a hard job at those slippy road. Nevertheless we were laughing all over the time and the tears started freezing at our skin...

Yes, there was not much traffic on the road these days. Today I would not have the heart to do that again...

During the last autumn, a young lady with a mobile phone at her ear crashed into the car behind me and pushed it on my duck...

That was the cause to start an overhauling procedure with a new chassis, new seats ...and somewhen a new paint film...

Conclusion: Almost 26 years without a breakdown, always starting engine, only a few parts replaced, and not soooo much fuel consumed (normally 6.5L per 100km, sometimes 10-11L)"

Guido wrote aboute his 2CV:
"I was two years ago when I said to my wife "Darling, we will do this in just two weekends..."), because I just intended to mount the bodywork of my 2CV on the underbody of another one with a galvanized chassis! In the meantime the work grew slightly - I started grinding, welding and all those stuff. The paintwork in blanc carrara was done by a professional lacquerer (resulting in an exorbitant price). The reassembling procedure needs some time - u know it! As soon as the whole work is finished I will send you another picture. It was worth doing this job!!!"

Sounds very familiar to me...

Vas wrote about his car:
"Many thanks for the photoes and informations for the 2CV. I have started the reproduction since six months. My kindest regards from the tortured Greece."
Wow! Even the engine and gearbox are shining!

Chris sent me some pictures of his Lomax 223 and I am waiting for some information about the car...
So here they are:
"I am the third owner of the car having only recently bought it from a friend whose husband sadly died 4 years ago. The year of manufacture is 1980 the main pictures were taken at my home in Brixham, South Devon. The pictures by the sea were taken at Paignton on the sea front. I have very little history of the car but hope that during the warmer summer months I can start to enjoy the car :)"

A picture of Stefan's 2CV has been in my gallery for a long time, but without being noticed by him.
Now he sent me another photo of his piece of jewellery and two excellent drawings - thanks!

Stored for a long time was Luca's project, which he started in 2011. The 2CV was parked inside the shelter by his mother many years before (happily she did not scrap it). Completely disassembled (the parts moved with a car of the right vintage), overhauled and reassembled, the work is almost done.

The current project of Claas is this pickup. Seems like there is a lot of grinding work to be done...

From the Odenwald (German landskip) to the south of France (Saint-Cyprien) - 3.500km in 11 days. Claas sent me some impressions of his jurney - thanks!
The 2CV was built in 1978, equipped with front drum brakes and colored in "Manderine" (the white color was added by the previous owner). There were 256.000km written on the speedometer when he finally sold the Citroën.

The rear view discloses that this is no ordinary 2CV. Günter from Nürnberg (Germany) wrote me a mail, because he was looking for a special bonnet for his Roadster. Many hours of work have passed by until the talented mold maker had built all the special parts of the bodywork.
