Dukestar25 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 That 'caravan' looks very heavy on the back of that tin snail.I imagine the driving experience to be somewhere between 'glaicially slow' and 'yawn inspiring', assuming it can move at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Was the Dyane a 2CV replacement? I had the toy car when I was little.I'd have one of these at the drop of a hat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'd love a Dyane / acadiane, great for peasanty tootling in the summer months, roof off bimble off to the beach or for a picnic or similar simple pleasures. Sadly air-cooled Citroens carry a hefty price premium on the whole, anything cheap is going to be horrendously rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-j Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Aye. Dyane was MEANT to replace the 2CV but it didn't! 2CV is slow etc but the Dyane was actually faster bu having a different compression ratio and ....... wait for it ....................a supercharger... No! seriously! the air intake to the carb comes off the back on the fan cowl and on an air cooled that's fairly well ducted. The induction air is higher that atmospheric pressure and so is 'technically' supercharged!It makes the Dyane a bit more of a mover than the 2CV (all things are relative!!)Anyway, I also want a Dyane - it's the popular 2CV's shite sisterI have a work in progress 2CV but still after a Dyane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Aye. Dyane was MEANT to replace the 2CV but it didn't! a bit like the Metro & Mini affair except they don't look alike.I always preferred the look of the Dyane, followed by the square lamped 2CV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I like Dyanes too - and you can still get them cheap, though these days will not last long...My mate is selling his absolute minter for £3000 but Brian Damaged on Retro Rides paid the shite side of £1000 for his.

Milford Cubicle Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1982-CITROEN-DYAN ... 0341524795 This one looks alright, just needs a bit of light recommissioning.I'd love to try one of these roly-poly twins before they are completely out of my reach, I'm thinking of getting one as my next old second car - when I have any money that is.
