How to buy a
Citroën 2CV
in the USA ?
There is a very simple solution : have it
delivered to your door
, directly
from
France
, driven by it's actual owner, with all papers and title
ready for a
US registration
in your name.
Look at it,
inspect it carefully
on all sides, check the chassis,
the engine, the exhaust and hydraulic lines, the heating system, the wipers...
Are the seats comfortable ?
Are all lights working ?
Are all keys properly locking ?
Rock the
2CV
to test the suspension...
Remove the floor mats to inspect the floor pans...
Feel free to have a look at everything you wish... then drive it.
Is it exactly the
2CV
you were expecting ?
Yes ? Ok, buy it, it's yours.
No ? (that is quite impossible...) no problem, it will go to somebody else.
Who could propose you such a service ?
Well, here again the answer is simple : me !
Let me introduce myself briefly. I am Sylvain, I live in Toulouse, south of France, and I have been interested in the
2CV
since I had my first one. I was eigtheen years old.
I have never owned any other kind of car than
2CV's
since...
and I am more than thirty years old now !
I worked for many years in the software industry, and also, from time to time, as freelance journalist.
I published short articles in different magazines,
from Playboy to Scientific American
but those which are my best are
my articles about the 2CV.
A few years ago, during the summer of 1992, a friend and I came
to the USA with a vintage 2CV.
It was a
blue
1962 model (6 volts, 18 hp 425 CC engine).
Driving the
2CV on the highways
through those incredible
western landscapes
was really an experience.
I sold the 2CV at
the end of the trip
and swore to go back with a better 2CV.
Now, here it is : I have resigned from my job to create a 2CV business with
modern Citroën 2CV
professionaly
refurbished
to your
needs
in the
garage GILLES.
