Even James Bond drove a 2CV! It’s beautiful!

i hope that mike and Elvis stay for a long time, for me Elvis is a great asset in the program

Looks like mr Brewer has eaten a 2CV with extra cheese😊

[@kevinfleming9919]

That heat exchanger manifold is causing it to lose what little Horsepower it has. Cut it apart, weld up the holes at the carb mount and put a separate exhaust pipe going out so it gets colder denser air and more, or at least all, of it's Horsepower to use!

It’s lob sided 😂 on Mikes side 😂

Fantastic! I have a 2CV and would love to have a van version as well. The trafficlutch is an interesting idea from a long time ago. Please release the rest of the episode soon!

For a while I was based in Brussels, and a friend of my spouse had a 2CV. He let me drive it across town one day, and I kept stalling it! That engine has so little power that you have to rev it out in order to let out the clutch. I had no trouble finding the gears with the umbrella handle, but it was the clutch that was annoying.

[@bobmcl2406]

Then it wasn't running correctly. No good 2CVs are difficult to move off from rest.

[@JacquesStrappe-gp9et]

What happened to Jack?

[@Prestone44]

There was never a 604cc engine. Actually it is a 602cc with 24 Hp. This green Fourgonnette is lovely. We have a 2CV slang. The manifold is called ''The spider''. This old style manifold is often cracked. Centrifugal clutch is a unique option - does not exist on any car today.

£12,000 ?! Mine cost £400 ! (In the ‘80’s) 😂

When I was young I always liked the autobianchi a112 abarth, I don't think you've ever worked on one of them.

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

Mykes il faut marcher pour courir ❤😂

[@juditacs6061]

What was the selling price of the car (they bought it for €12K)?

[@bobmcl2406]

As a 25 year owner of a 2CV, my opinion is that the 425cc cars are not really useable in modern traffic. I would have opted for the other van, with the 602cc motor (the big block!). You could still equip it with the trafficator centrifugal clutch.

[@JacquesStrappe-gp9et]

They didn't realize they couldn't swap out the engine until after they bought it

[@My_Op]

Yeah a bit short, too short the episodes...

[@retrowaynie7193]

Was it actually sold, discovery+ episode just ends without saying?

[@rk22cc]

More please

[@ArtDeLaRenovation]

Really nice car

[@kasamago]

Awesome..

[@greathey1234]

Nice house

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

Va si mykes de

[@leonardotoro9386]

I don't want to criticise, but there is a better way to upgrade this lovely furgonette. You can put a BMW bike engine 1150 cc. Air cooled engine as original 602cc. The power goes up to 90-110 hp and you can keep same gear box. Only you need to upgrade the brakes. The result is spectacular performance.

[@liljonwask]

If you watched the video, they say they can't change the engine for "paperwork reasons"

[@hollowaysteve]

Vehicles have to be kept standard in France No modifications allowed.

[@redmile999]

Mike is lame, could be such a good programme, oh actually it was when edd china was in it.
