Nope. Very few genuine pick-ups were made. The one you saw probably belongs to Alexander Boyton, who services 2CVs in that area. He built it himself and it's a very smart job - though it has a huge rear overhang! Sadly I've no pics of it either.

Some were made in Slough for the Navy, early 60's, the Marines tested them as airportables.

Cor, you don't need much of a hint these days do you Brian? ;D
Some really smart ones there.
As has been said, the Navy did use them - all British built and all thought to have been scrapped. There's a replica in the Bristol area and a very few British survivors (non military).

Wasn't the story that almost all the Navy pickups ended up at the bottom of the sea somewhere?

Yeah, that's the general concensus, they were all pushed overboard (I can't blame them, I've been tempted to do the same to mine before) but I don't think there's any concrete proof of their demise and very little info on the subject.

I'm pretty sure ive seen this one (or a very similar open wheeled 4 door brown 2cv) driving round near me in Essex. Was on UK eBay not too long ago, its a UK car, so could well be the same one! I've love it, so 'nearly' right. Needs the bed height proportions tweaking, and the front wheels set further forward to finish. |

No good ones I'm afraid, details are pretty scarce.    I found a great picture of the replica one that's floating about last night, and I'm buggered if can find it now. |

Don't think that buying one scratches the itch either. Most people end up with several!
