Here's a quick look at Patrice's (Patoune) new 2CV based car project. The moulds are made and the first 2 bodies ready for delivery.

More details and prices to follow.

Are these available to buy?

Ooh, that's going to look nice. Bike engine perhaps?

Looks a bit like a 50's Brabham, singleseater, or a real cozy two up?

I like it.

Yeah vanwall ..ish

How many different kits do you go now Chris?

Nice would a seicento engine fit. 899 cc. :-) could keep my commuter car and the silver car for touring. Mm not sure what mrs would say. How much for the kit/donor combo. Or would a smart car turbo go in 700cc turbo auto. Possibilities are endless.

Racing green. Does look nice. Mm pure grey,racing green,pure grey,racing green.

Redratbike, I actually typed in " Vanwall" but somehow it came out as Brabham!!

Starting point :

Prettier than a Moss Monaco. Great stuff.

Agreed. And I always liked the Moss Monaco.

Patoune, I know you build cars very quickly so please keep us supplied with progress pictures. hoto:

I'm really looking forward to seeing this one come together.

ooh , look at that. as towed and oxfod said better than the moss Monaco. that's got potentiul me old china. Patrice is the right man for the job me is thinking. look forward to seeing one coming together. you got one at the workshop chris as I am hoping to go see mickey miglia next week and would like to come across and see you on the same roadtrip if possible? I can bring some more of the homemade eccles cakes. you remember the last ones you and the red haired fella were litirally fighting over them! mickey miglia if yous reading this don't worry I can get you some more donuts when I see you to. I know how to negotiat a good discount don't I fellas!

VERY nice Patrice/Chris. With the chance of Lomax coming back being very slim, this is exatly what is needed to revive the 2CV market.

After some difficulties ... the master and the first two kits are loaded and in France for a few hours. Fortunately the mold remains in Chris’worshop!

My English is not so good to understand everything! But one thing is certain against some cakes and donuts you're welcome!

Thank you Andy, this is what we want!

I think this kit is prettier than the Lomax

Difficulties? I think you could have got another 2 shells on that trailer and another on your bonnet! Looking forward to seeing a finished "NEWPORT" on Monday

I have just put a few photos on the CITROEN SPECIAL CLUB's forum, I am sure it will be of great interest to them.
It really looks the part.
Well done

Two days later ... Some specific pieces made, nose, bonnet, wings reassembled....

Will these be road worthy or just track day toys? Think they did a 4x4 version think that's what it said in wikipedia. Could be good for winter racing

No, it's a road car! fit with a Citroen Dyane 6 engine (602cc) and 2 Mikuni carbs.
