Back in 2001 I bought this rather shabby French built Traction Avant to prepare it for a 2CV “Raid” to the outback. I never liked the baby poo brown but here it is in 2025 with the same paint however it did undergo an engine and gearbox transplant from a Citroen ID19 this transforms the car giving it a 4 speed gearbox and an alloy crossflow head on what is essentially the same engine block. The 155 x 400 Michelin X tyres were replaced with something more robust for the bush tracks, it has a 123 Ignition and cruise control for when I drove it to Perth. Otherwise it is as I bought it nearly 25 years ago.

This is my favourite car and I’ve had a lot of cars, I may even paint it one day.
