Fate has intervened and I think I may be about to end up with one.
Not sure what I'll be doing with it yet, but it's kinda cool in an ugly duckling, unusual/unpopular way.
Any help appreciated.

They are cool. They roll like anything but do grip surprisingly well. They also are quite revvy and buzz along surprizingly well. Dash mount gear shift is fun too.
Thing is they rot like sods where the rear swing arms mount up to the floor/chassis. This is hard work to repair properly and why so many got scrapped.

Obvious post, but... Just managed to find this thread again *bump* That chopped one looks cool as a penguins plums.  Gives me an idea. Maybe. I might now be using it for next years Mongol Rally. Was planning to do it in a 2CV but if you got a free car then why not? |

That reminds me... the other day I saw a K-plate (1993?!) one driving up my street! I think they still built them under license in Romania or somewhere didn't they?! Must have been one of those I suppose! I like 'em |
