A couple of my rare White Mk2 1.6 JPS A BMW 520I I had for a bit The last Capri I had, 1.6 Laser Nearly Bought this Mk1 Granada Coupe, but it was too rotten Looked at buying this Jag XJ6 Coupe but the old guy died. My Grandads old 1934 Citroen Rosalie 8A & his Unique 2CV (A 1 off order with a raised roofline) And Finally for now, My Uncles 1904 Burrell Steam Roller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawy Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 The 2cv is quite a interesting story....There was a army general who was injured in battle in the 2nd world war. He damaged his back/spine & needed a car which could seat him comfortably.He sent letters to lots of different car manufacturers in the 50s & only citroen replied. They said they could raise the roof & lift his seat so that he could sit comfortably.So the car is a one off as the car was specially made for the general.I will get some more pics of it.It is a very early 2cv with a ripple bonnet.I will try and get some more pics of it soonCheersRawy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500tops Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 wow! You Grandad owns that ripple! I've only seen it in the metal once - it was on display at the 2cv world meeting, Kelso, Scotland back in 2005. I remember an article from Classic & Sportscar magazine back in the very early 90's just after it had been re-discovered after a long time in storage...Brilliant!
