Citroen 2CV Rebuild; Hello Dolly!

March 8, 2011 By admin

One of our world famous Citroen 2CV rebuilds done in the fantastic dolly color scheme! Like always, we included a new galvanized frame, floor pans, a rebuilt 602cc engine, all new brakes, shocks, new clutch, exhaust system and so much more.Â A special feature on this 2CV is the Chrome robi trim we added for fenders.
Cruisin in this Dolly will be music to the new owner’s ears as we also installed a new radio and CD player!

This is TRULY the next best thing to owning a brand new Citroen car.

Citroen 2CV Makes Spooktacular Halloween Appearance

December 3, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Our client showed off his vintage Citroen 2CV in a most fun and festive way!Â He drove it up and down State Street for their annual Kennett Square parade!Â The parade kicks off at the corner of Cypress Street and Mill Road and travels north up State Street. Everyone who attends enjoys music and lots of fun costumes, not to mention some special appearances by some really cool vintage 2CVs.

Streets were adorned with corn stalks and scarecrows..you know… to keep the ghouls and goblins at bay.Â Â Check out the photos below of our client having a SPOOKTACULAR time showing off his 2CV.

Citroen 2CV Truckette

November 9, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Another one of our famous rebuilds is in effect and this time we are working on a rare Citroen 2CV Truckette.

The Truckette was originally designed to be a commercial version of Citroen’s immensely popular 2CV. During the late Fifties and throughout the Sixties and Seventies, the Truckette was the vehicle of choice of most butchers, bakers and candlestick makers throughout France. The Truckette also caught on with small families as the Truckette could be fitted with an extra rear seat and side windows.

Today, business owners love the Truckette for many of the same reasons it was revered in the 50â€™s and 60â€™s; small enough to be a comfortable daily driver with enough room to transport goods and equipment with ease. Because they have such a unique look and are rarely seen on the road, the Truckettes make great promotional vehicles. We can outfit any Citroen model with your business colors to act as a moving billboard on the road and get seen by hundreds daily!

Once we have finished with this rebuild, she’s going off to California!

Problems Starting Your 2CV?

September 7, 2010 By admin

The ignition coil & HT lead set available for Citroen 2CV cars at Eurocar Imports solves the overheating problems many 2CVs had.Â These coils are the ultimate replacement and will never have overheating problemsâ€”A must have for any 2CV owner!

About the Ignition Coil

This modern dry technology, resin set coil comes complete with 8.8mm H.T. leads and fitting bracket. The real answer to hot starting problems on any 2CV or 2CV based kit car.

This coil has the same primary resistance to a Ducellier 12v 2cv coil – so, if desired, can be fitted to a 2cv fitted with standard c.b points, Lumenition or 123ignition (we do not suggest that is necessary – just that it is compatible).
