Critique Welcomed 2cv

[Brian Moore]

Snapped this at our local annual concours d'elegance a few weeks ago. Citroen 2CV. I believe the young lady in the photo is the owner.

Canon F1 with Canon FD 17mm f4 and Kodak Fuji 200 film.

the back end seems to be an afterthought, looks like a car crashed into the vw beetle that the guy who designed the 2cv was driving on his way to work and he just figured that'll do.. did you photograph any other cars at the concours?

Yes I snapped quite a few, Beth. I posted one a couple of weeks ago.

Excellent cars Brian, can be repaired road side with a wrench and screwdriver, which is often. Frugal consumption and once upon a time carried an eight foot wardrobe in one ,on the back seat , out through the detachable roof. Made of tissue paper and would never have liked to have hit anything in it. Passengers are prone to being seasick , love them.

Still see the odd one on the roads here Brian; they have a character all of their own. The Holga of the motor world.

Perfect, Tom: The Holga of the Motor World!

That about sums up the user experience I expect, Julian. Thanks.

I did much prefer the 3cv vans, much more interesting design, corrugated rear panels.

3CV vans,...Hmmm. Can't visualize that model. I must Google it.

You nailed it Pedro. (Wish I'd thought to title it as such.) Thanks!

It is indeed a good hippy car, Paul.
