I note that CV-ites have been celebrating the 60th anniversary of their beloved vehicle.

Any expat readers currently have one, or ex-owners with interesting tales?
The title by the way is from recent comments, not from personal experience.

It's something my OH aspires to owning

Must confess, I wouldn't mind one either.
Although I might find I need to go to confession after driving one.......

Love the cars. A friend has one, and is restoring it for trips to thes shows. If i had one (one day a must) it would be use everyday.

Not the thing for Sarko & Carla to be seen in.

Many years ago my wife took a 2CV for a test drive, and had a little prang, whereupon several panels 'popped' off the 2CV.

Later the dealer inquired (with more than a hint of expectation) if she would be interested in buying the vehicle!

Both myself and Fluffy the Vampire Slayer on the Oz forum are ex-2cv owners. I have even been to the rallies.

My best story was when I noticed it was snowing inside the car.

Very strange how you see so many with different cloured body panels. Obviously found by the road side and taken home as spares, just in case. But great cars.
