Looks familar doesn't it? But all is not what it seems! I need the name of the base car(s), and who made the modifications for a point!

Citroen 2 Cv Monaco by M Pascal from Rouen



Translation :

"Insulated efforts.

This car is one of our readers work : M. Pascal from Rouen.
Few years ago M. Pascal had made an interesting conversion of a 4cv Reanult in front Wheel Drive. Now, it is a Citroën 2cv named "Monaco". The steel lowered body shell still have four seats ; the trunk (coffre ?) is very large. On the mechanical point of view, the mainfold has been redesigned and the cylinder heads modified. This 2cv's top speed is now 110 kph"

Isolated effort, I presume?

Well done, that's the car!

I also believe Otto is correct in thinking this was actually based on a Dagonet-modified 2cv (hence why I asked what carS it was based on - Citroen AND Dagonet!)
