Topic: SOLVED: Djetset #73 - Piaf 2CV

[Djetset]

Do you know what this is for a point?

[Djetset]

Experts, can you sort the wood from the trees with this one?

That's a Piaf, a kit-car based on a Citroën 2CV. Two of them are known in Holland.

DynaMike, I would have put money on you being the first Puzzler to get this one right, as you have.  Well done, you have the point

[DynaMike]

Than, Djetset. Yes, as a 2CV driver myself (for almost thirty years, now...) I really like these. But in fact the real thing is more interesting to me, especially the older ones. I've had a Belgian built AZL from 1956, a 12 bhp version with wich I made several trips to France, once to the UK and once to Barcelona. And a good friend of mine still has got his first car, a 1953 2CV A (with only 9 bhp...) That's really great fun to drive. Moderner 2CV are nice as well, but they don't have that really incredibly comfortable suspension anymore (though still better than most other car, nowadays).

Ah DynaMike, from your knowledge and the tone of your answers, you struck me as a man of decerning taste with a fondness for French cars.  I share you passion for 2CVs (having owned a Mehari, etc), and I currently have a 1958 HY van, plus a certain pioneering 1960s French mid-engined sport car which you can probably guess what it is from my AutoPuzzles name!  I have some cars from other European countries at home too, just to keep the balance right, which I confess to at some other time (ranging from 49cc to 6.7-litres!).
