Forget the Bentley, the Volkswagen,

have a look at this:

They might sell for big Euros in Europe, but not in that condition! My money is on $500 max for this particular car, as someone my want a spare part.

An iconic motor. But having been involved in a motorway pile-up in one in 1983 I won't be rushing to bid. There wasn't much left of the car and it's a wonder none of the occupants was killed.

What was demonstrated was the robustness of our Radio Shack TRS80 computer (16Kb - count them! - RAM) which had been in the boot and was found intact several hundred metres down the road without a scratch on it. It served us loyally until a Commodore 64 arrived a couple of years later.

Hi ChrisP, now that's what I would call "progress" on all fronts ! BTW, have you guys noted the absence of any comments from the Black Prince of Arabia ? Personally, how anyone would have the gall the advertise a car like this in this condition at this price...you'd have to have a pretty thick hide.

There might be something of a curio factor applicable to the Dyna, but otherwise.....Regards Styria

I have seen 2CVs advertised in the teens (in various conditions) over the years and they have a huge following.
However, I have just done a search to try and find another one for sale and found NONE !

So I guess if you want one, you'll need to pay what the market demands..

Let's see if he sells it..

As far as I know, Citroen never officially imported them into Australia, so any that are here were mainly imported from the UK. There are a number in the Citroen club but enthusiasts probably hold on to them.
