Well, it's got some wheels.

I wonder what the tail shaft is off? Perhaps a MIG?

Whoever did that combined Heath Robinson with the KISS principle. Hope it wasn’t the glorious V8.

Nah, my mother has a 2cv though. It doesn't get driven much. My parents imported the 2cv and CX turbo from the UK in the mid 90s when they lived there for a year on a job exchange.

Dyanes have never had the cult following of the 2cv.

In the early seventies my brother lived in Denmark, and bought a new Dyane. In 1973 I visited him, and we drove round western Europe and the UK in it. It worked OK, but the interior noise level reminded me of a Cessna 150.

Had an interesting experience in France - it was due for a warranty service, so he took to a dealer. They had problems - the service book they had to fill out was in Danish!

And he drove from Copenhagen to meet me at Schipol - arriving half a day late after the alternator failed in Hamburg.

He told me that the price of the Dyane in Denmark was almost exactly the same as the price of a Holden in Australia.

It really does look to have very little rust from this far away!

All in the driver's door, perhaps?

It goes just as fast in reverse as the Disco does forward. I suppose it has an artificial weight advantage.
