Yes! These were made in Argentina! When can these go back into production?!?! [I bet there are cheap/easy ways to make these safer at highway speeds -- make them more saleable in the American market -- not that that's necessary for good American sales.

We all love the 2CV. The 2CV is to cars what bread is to food -- it's a baseline. Wouldn't it be great if it could go back into production, giving millions of people this transportation option? Citroen AMI: The usual response to that wish is that it's impossible because the 2CV can't pass safety regulations. But here's a loophole for that: Citroen itself is selling a car called the Ami, which is legally a "quadracycle" -- I guess that's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. The Ami itself uses the 2CV logo on its grill (see this article called "The Electrek review: This tiny Citroën Ami microcar is just weird enough to work". ) Here's a quote about it's being designated as a quadracycle, "It’s technically considered to be a quadricycle, a type of vehicle classification in Europe that falls somewhere between a motorcycle and a standard car. That helps it thread the needle of low cost and low regulations while still offering much the feeling of an actual car. It may not have a dozen airbags like some cars (or even one airbag), but you weren’t planning on hitting anything anyway, right?" "Largely an artisanal procedure": Here's an article about when the 2CV was produced in Iran: "Citroën Saipac 2CV, Jiane Sedan, Jiane Pickup and Mehari". It describes the manufacturing as "largely an artisanal procedure", i.e., they are hand assembled. ... That means a high school kid can put one together in their back yard (!). How many millions of high school kids wouldn't consider that as an option for their first car??? Burton 2CV Parts: This place in The Netherlands -- Burton 2CV parts -- has several videos about putting together a whole 2CV with purchased parts. They don't come out and say it -- but it's hard not to make that conclusion: "You can build your own 2CV!" Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! Can the 2CV hold its own on a highway? This video makes it look like it can: Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! (channel is Hub Nut). It talks about some minor-looking improvements to the spark-advance, giving it highway-capable speeds. Rust is a problem? Here is a video about hot-dipping the whole body in zinc: Fully Zink coated body!! The daily driver citroën 2cv6 real solution against rust restoration. 2cv ^^ a hot-dipped zinc-coated 2CV will last a lifetime or more, in terms of rust. Argentina: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.) Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.

I am in the process of reassembling the same one in the same colour, too bad I didn't see the video before. Very good reassembly guide congratulation Of France.

I love this work you had done. I want to know if this is a kit to assembly. Who mades it?. Where is Burton in England or Canada. Thank you, greetings from Argentina (Here we love de 2 CVs)

Finally I watched the last part. These high quality videos are technically very interesting and mentally soothing. Good job, guys!
Maravilloso trabajo 👏 me trajo muchos recuerdos ❤😢 saludos desde 🇨🇱
Thank you, it will help me a lot in the restoration of my 2cv that I'm doing on my youtube channel.
Well done guys, greetings from Argentina South America 🇦🇷🤘

Very nice videos! Makes me want to get my own 2CV :) Cheers!
You guys made me really want a 2CV. Problem is, I live in The States. Very rare here.
They are imported as old timer now to avoid US specs. Not cheap.

Great series and I've finally watched all 4 parts. Now I'm wondering, seeing the completed 2CV, do you sell ready-assembled vehicles?
I love this work you had done. I want to know if this is a kit to assembly. Who mades it?. Where is Burton in England or Canada. Thank you, greetings from Argentina (Here we love de 2 CVs)

Very nice!❤. However, I'd hate to think how much this cost...a LOT I'd presume?
🤗🤗
Is there an Airbnb nearby for people who want a "hands on" experience?
TOP SUPER
