There are so many things to like about the late brake show. The first being Jonny’s shared love for eclectic motor vehicles of all makes. The second are Jonny’s review and insight into the car in question (love it when the old note book comes out). The third is the audience participation in offering up special cars for review or barn/garage find resuscitation. I for one would love to see a “ late brake-European tour” of multiple projects/barn finds from France, Germany, Holland, Italy etc. I would also love to watch museum reviews from said countries such as Audi-ingolstad, Peugeot in Paris and so on. Come on Jonny get your passport renewed and bring us more lots more of these gems.

Are the two electric 2CV variants in this video? The most fun is leaving the gearbox in place. When you replace the gasoline engine with a forklift engine, shifting gears makes good sense. But there is also companies who take the other approach. They fully restore your 2CV and you get it back like a new one, with a state of the art electrical system.

Back in the 1950s, my maiden great Aunt lived in Paris and the rest of the family were scattered around France. She had a back problem and her doctors told her she had to stop driving. She told them 'Non!' She had to drive. The doctors had a little conflab and they told her that the only car they would allow her to drive was the 2CV. She drove all over France in 2CVs. I never knew her drive anything else. What a car.

There’s a guy who comes to our car meets that’s got an interesting beast. It looks like an old fashioned quad bike but upon looking closer it’s got a 2CV engine fitted sideways with the cylinders facing longitudinally along its length. One driveshaft therefore goes towards the front and the other to the back. Each driveshaft drives a different axle through its own differential. It’s a 4WD 2 CV engined vehicle. It was designed for the French military and the British Army bought a few for the special forces to try. The one I’ve seen came as Army surplus from the British Army. It’s a fun looking thing with good off road ability.

2CV's are the most incredible vehicles, I owned a Dyane 6 when I lived in London back in the 80's and drove it all over the UK and Europe. It went anywhere and everywhere with no fuss and I dearly wish I could've brought it home when I returned to Australia. It even went up Harsdnott Pass in Cumbria, I think, that was 1 in 3 rise. Everything tumbled of the dash onto the floor and the poor old Dyane kangaroo hopped that last part of the climb being front wheel drive but it got there. Other vehicles were turning back. Such a wonderful car.

I never had, (or even drove) a 2CV, but I did have a Visa with 2CV engine. I eventually blew a whole in a piston using too much starter fluid in freezing temperatures. I wish now I'd fixed it instead of selling it to a Citroen dealer. So much fun while I had it.

As you say - that was extra special! This episode will be hard to beat! - I actually saw one of these in Uddevalla, Sweden (of all places...) on my commute to work, last year. Obviously it was "Car of the Day" - but I did npt know just how unusual and thereby expensive they are these days. Made it even cooler to actually have seen one in trafic.

For anyone who likes to take inspiration from the Late Break Show. That's not an easy video to copy! Great work Jonny

Love these such a quirky car my uncle had one here in the UK, my father had the Renault 4 4x4 another quirky vehicle, they built me a VW Beetle with two engines.

My father's first car in the 60's was a used 2CV...and we went everywhere in France with it. It was a lot of fun, parents in front and us, 4kids, in the back.
