Found this charming old thing while walking the dog a few weeks ago. Didn’t see any obvious signs as to the make or model. Reminds me of an S-Cargo. Anyone know what it is?

2cv Fourgonette. That’s not a U.S. spec one. You could get them in the U.S. by special order, bought I doubt they sold more than a few dozen over here. My dad remembers a man in his home town who had one. He was missing one leg, and had one with the automatic clutch - he used it to haul his remote control airplane around.

Poor GS in the background.

The Acadiane was the later Dyane based one, which was different cosmetically.

It’s t he thing the S-Cargo was designed to remind you of.

From Wikipedia: “ The exterior styling of the S-Cargo was inspired by the Citroën 2CV Fourgonnette delivery van , and interior styling borrowed a Citroën -style single-spoke steering wheel. The name was a double entendre , standing for “Small Cargo” and sounding like “ escargot ”, the French word for snail , which in turn is a nickname for the Citroën 2CV.”

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Distraxi's idea of perfection is a Jagroen

I knew it was different cosmetically than the normal 2CV...what was the 2CV version of the van called then, just Truckette?

The fact that they made puns in an entirely different language still amazes me.
