98k miles with part history, plans are to get it reliable, then lower, colour change, maybe whitewalls. the future plans are to make it fenderless, with front axle line moved forwards.

2CV's are just cool and this one looks a gem...!!!
Can you imagine any car being launched today still being in production (relatively unchanged) in 40 years time...?!?!?!

Looking nice. I can't remember the last time I saw one. Having just signed up for a guided tour of Paris in a 2CV this October, I'll be interested to follow your progress.

This would get my Bro in Law all excited. He's had a couple of these, and a couple of van versions. He's currently looking for another Mehari...

Man I'd love one of these. I feel that's more muddy than poop, though.

Surely painting it that color will wipe out most of its value and desirability?
Standard paint all the way
