 Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2008 1:33 pm Post subject: How many Slough made 2 CV built and survived ? |
 |
|
Everything is in title.
I was wondering to know how many 2 CVs were made in Slough between 1953 and 1959, and how many survived up to day ?
Does anybody know ?
Cheers ! |

I don't know anything about numbers. A few months ago there was a '53 for sale on the ebay in Australia. Non-original engine, GS-hubcaps and some other details ... sold for over 11.000 dollars. Lots of money for a car that has been restored the wrong way. On top of all, this car was listed as 'french' ... terrible!
Here it is:
I'll make some good scans of my brochures and a Road Test from '56. |

Et voila, I know it has nothing to do with your question, but I'll post them anyway.

| Right, it's got nothing to do with the question itself but these advertisements are really very very interesting. I thank you very much ! |

You're welcome, Pascal.
Here's the '56 AZ Road Test. This all I have at the moment, but I'll check my other documents to see if I have some more Slough stuff. Two years ago I was talking to a Belgian guy who was restoring a Slough built, but I never saw him again. Let's hope he'll have it finished soon!

| I think that this one was for sale a couple of years ago in South-Africa. But even if not good looking, it may get back to the original color and condition ... |

It's the Front Wheel Drive logo, only mounted on the Slough built 2cv's.

So, nobody knows how many 2 CV were made in Slough ? I've heard about 400 but also about 1000. And some people say they are only about 30 to 50 remaining !
No one to confirm ? |

I think it is currently in restoration but not to make it pristine just fix the bodges that its had over the years!
