Might it be possible for you to ask him if he's stumbled across a 'back street' Simitar enthusiast garage? West/central Scotland preferred.

Thanks in anticipation.

The grille and style suggest pre-war BMW. You can tell I haven't looked it up.

What's this? A 2CV special in the style of a Bugatti?


And, judging by the number plate, only recently imported into Geneva. I wonder how it passed "la visite".


dunno where you get that idea from. number plates are issued to the driver here and have absolutely no relevance to when a car was first registered.

i don't know the exact details, but it was possibly built on an existing swiss 2cv chassis or it may be a french built special and imported.

and it probably passed it's swiss mot because it's in perfect condition and everything works. :wink:
