I am looking for people who can help me get in toucht with people who know more about the following types of 2cv's



This is a 2cv build and sold in England. Now i have some information allready, but it would be very cool to get in contact with someone who has one of those cars and who can get detailed images of this car.

Same goes for this car



This is a replica of a 2cv van, customized to serve duty in the Suez crises.
I have some information, written by the builder, but any contact adress i had, is not working anymore.

I would like to know more about these cars, and make a story on them. Translated into Dutch, to post on the Dutch 2cv website and keep that infotmation safe for the future.

A friend of mine from the UK got a Slough 2cv
http://www.ptsdevelopments.com/renovationthumbs.htm
He knows quite a lot about these 2CVs, but as far as I'm aware he is very busy with his business and racing and as long as I know him he didn't rebuild the car (could have changed recently). However you can contact him via his website and feel free to mention my name "Bart (from Holland)" would do the job. He may also be able to get you in touch with other slough 2cv owners.

I have seen the pick up one a few times in the UK, but can't help you further quickly. When you don't catch other people who can help don't hesitate to ask me again and I'll ask some friends in the UK.

Good luck, Bart

Citroën has a "Slough" 2cv, maybe it it the one of your pic. There is complete detailed article in the last Planète 2cv.

About the pick up replica. Just forget about this one, it looks like crap!

Bart, thnx for the link, will try that.

Etienne, i know about the replica, but it was the best image i had.
I know something about that replica, and that owner has all the information about those cars to.

I got one number from my parents today, who remembered a guy in the UK who had an original army 2cv pick-up restored, will try to call him tomorrow.

Any chance i could get that article somewhere? Planet is not available here as far as know (been asking for it here and there)

Yep, that replica is not nicely made.. It has even New style bumber Confused
There is at least 3 survivors of those pickups, 2 in UK and one in Finland.
