    Piston rings let go and blw oil everywhere um we did a compression test a number of weeks ago and it was good uh but on for these things happened the car has been off the road 12 years it’s it was unknown so we had to get back to the

    Workshop and the plan was to we could change the engine but we had to meet Johnny Smith from The Late breake Show at DOA so we had to get going so how did we get here let me show you so what we done we took a car out of

    Our showroom what we got for sale and we drove it all the way downhill as you can see we painted the Diane red and changed the Bonnet now we go past Stone Edge mystical place where Max M was pull out the ground going to need you

    8 here was my son Jacob traveling with Joe in his original 0072 CV now please bear in mind this is GG the 2cv we purchased of a customer to sell now all work is done to the cars once we have sold him so literally we

    Jumped in his car drove it to the south of France uh we did check check the fluids but we did not even have time to adjust the real suspension which it needs seeing that it’s got four adults in it and a boot full of luggage we got to accommodation at the

    1. Such confidence in the replacement for the Dyane. Just take it out the 'showroom' and drive it to Alpe d'Huez for a shakedown. Great to see these cars being driven hard.
