The 2CV is an interesting car to drive. It has very little power and the gear stick pokes out of the dashboard. It's a comfortable ride and you can peel back the cloth roof cover on a sunny day. Unfortunately it's not great at protecting the occupants in the event of a crash. Its doors are really thin and there are no air bags. Its design is very simple. Here is a video of a 2CV being dismantled and reassembled in 5 minutes by a few people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo1Z5072xr4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo1Z5072xr4
- jacquesm 4y agoThat's a funny video, but I suspect a lot of the parts were already disconnected, I've rebuilt the gearbox on one and getting the engine out took a lot longer than that!
