Well me and a mate (hello John) got this car to break, off a consortium of other mates, i wanted some odds and ends and john wanted the engine for his Acadiane Van. BUT i had a quick look over her and realised that i didnt want to break her, i wanted to drive her, who can reisist a car that has drivers names on the rear quarter glass and real sponsorship stickers and numbers? The car took part in the'Scally Rally' 2006, one of these buy a car for 100quid and drive it to madrid via the french alps and back again jaunts, Luckily this old girl made it then languished in various gardens for 2 years before we got our hands on her. We did a quick deal and i became soul custodian. Here are some pics of when she was on the scallyRally 06..................  These are from the parade laps at the 2006 snetterton 2CV 24hr race   Waiting for the ferry at calais  a tuesday morning, In Madrid, they made it.  At the classic car show at the NEC in Nov 2006 So thats it for now, she now needs a wee bit of welding on the inner rear wings and a hydraulic pipe or two doing, I'm afraid shes in a que for the work but watch this space.............. |

Yes, plans are fix it, use it, not sure when though. I did wonder about a slightly less restrictive exhaust system, try and capture a bit of subaru flat engine 'woofle' maybe  |

I love these cars, drove right across france in my 1150cc GS in 2 days, slow but unburstable and ace fun. Might pop across the channel and get another at some point.

Is the flat-4 in these just a 2CV engine doubled up, or a completely new motor?
Another car I'd like to own at one point, and happily not hit with any kind of scene tax like the 2CV so should be cheap.

Yes they are flat 4. NOT 2cv engines doubled up, they are OHC (so 2 cam belts)
produce about 60hp depending on exactly which model you get, 4 or 5 speed box's depending on model. They don't tend to have scene tax but are rare as hell now, numbering only about 300 or so left in this country.
As mentioned above this one is possibly the latest registered one left.

you lucky lucky bar steward!! My folks had a GS and a GSA and I spent many a summer holiday in the back of one slowly moving from campsite to campsite in Europe (usually busy dodging my sisters vom) I'd really love a GS in red (LNP 6T where are you?) If you want to make it go faster check this out: and aussiefrogs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53784the guy actually turns up on the aussiefrog forum and talks through the project. Tidy |

My folks had a GS and a GSA and I spent many a summer holiday in the back of one slowly moving from campsite to campsite in Europe (usually busy dodging my sisters vom) Same here - many a trip to visit my family across France was done in a GS. One very similar to the one I saw at Goodwood last year - except ours was XGP 142S. Dad bodged the fuse box once outside a Carrefour on the way home - stuck a couple of nails in! Sold it like that I think!!  I loved the dashboard, still think it's cool and the handbrake was brill. Picture was taken for sentimental reasons!  |
