Finally located the plans for a BRA CX3.
Which is a 2CV powered, 2 seater, 3 wheeler.

There is a lot more to them than I remembered, I have the plans which consists of several full size sheets, cutting list, build CD's ect.



All-in-all quite a package.

Looks like a lot of fun. Keep us informed.

The plans are for a CX3 (not a 2CV) which uses a CX500 motor and drive train.

When looking for the plans I also found CX500 engine/gearbox, rear wheel complete with swinging arm and drive shaft!!
Along with a more-or-less complete front wish-bone suspension assembly so I must have been serious about building one at some stage!!:eyebrows:

Your garage must be a bigger mess than mine. How do you have all that gear and not fall over it? Look a bit harder, you might find the chassis!

Fortunately a messy workshop is a busy workshop,
I have all that gear because I need it, I don't trip over it because most of it is stored on the shelf.
As for the chassis it was never lost just stored outside until needed.

But that is a 2cv chassis without the bottom plating ?
