That colour is stunning, suits the car so well.

That engine sound...😃

That was a great little video. Thanks to you all.

Great video, it’s certainly good to see Jolene again!

Re your dad’s R12, I actually learnt to drive in my dad’s R12 and it was a great little car. Unfortunately I scraped the front offside wing a week before he got his new Citroen GS. He was none too pleased, bless him.

Keep up the great work.

Glad to see Jolene again.

I had two 2cvs in the late seventies and loved them. There was a company in West London who imported them from Belgium. You could get a runner with a year's M.O.T. for £200 or a really decent car for £400. Times have changed!

Thanks for the iridium plug tip. I will look for an equivalent for my aircooled 6v VWs.

Interesting tread depth on the tyres 😂

@markdibben7890 4 years ago

A very quick note to say to folk watching that if you're using standard B6HS NGK (-S does actually mean Standard), gap the plugs to the owner's manual specification of 0.6mm. Modern plugs are always gapped much wider these days (0.8mm or even 1.0mm) from the factory, because they're intended for 12 volt and importantly coil ignition (as opposed to distributors), that can generate a spark strong enough to bridge the wider gap. It's the strength and thus the duration of the spark that allows them to fire modern direct injection ultra, ultra lean air-fuel ratio engines (which is what gives them 45-50 average mpg). A 6 volt system wouldn't fire a wide gap on a Standard plug. The only reason it fires the Iridiums without re-gapping is because of the low resistance of the centre electrode, being 'needle thin'. The iridium metal is extremely resistant to spark erosion, which is what enables modern petrol engines to have very long service intervals, because the plugs don't need to come out every 6000 miles to have their gaps closed up - even a standard plug should last 12,000 miles with a good clean a re-gap at 6.

I use in my 2cv, smith and allan 20w-50 mineral multigrade engine oil which is good price in uk.

@maxeluy 4 years ago

I always wondered about those air filters, there's a reason to used them? Is because of the tyre accessory?

I ran my 2CV from UK to Holland and all the way down to Gibraltar then on to Sahara then back via Italy and the Alps, Black Forest on to Ypres in Belgium in 28 days - I decided to flush it and fill it with Shell Helix 5W40 full synthetic as it was going to be some 5,000 miles hot August journey - I feared mineral oil would need a change half way round - I have to say I had no issues it ran like a clock and seemed to get better the hotter the weather got - no half way oil chane needed - I guess most of the time we were doing 45 - 60mph - The engine was the van 603cc which i think was 29hp as the compression is a little lower for variable low octane found in Morocco

You said you need to use her and the cold isn't great to be breaking an engine in - just wondered if you had any tips as in Sweden with my Acadiane it's impossible to use for about 7 months of the year - mostly because the use of salt on the roads is excessive and would eat through my rebuilt body within a couple of years - she has to be off the road
