Regardless...bombs away!!!

Honestly, when the 2CV is the most sensible option then you know you are doing something right.

Why the heck is the classic car market in the Netherlands so damn good?

lol.. i dont need a car for my commute

so yeah... my criteria for a car is needs to seat 3

easy to work on coz i expect to be broken down a lot

preferably a classic coz i dont have to pay roadtax on those and insurance is dirt cheap

no road tax on classics... i guess

i’d still be wary of a classic lancia tho.... parts are so hard to find for those

An E n t e would be very nice (no problem with spares, or at least, better availability than with the Taunus or Hillman), but maybe not as your one and only vehicle.

Isn’t it a bit cheap? 2CVs seem to be pretty expensive in Europe nowadays.

prices here seem to be between 2 and 20 grand for running ones

im not entirely serious... but i also dont need a car... so whatever i do end up buying when the time comes will likely be something incredibly unreliable , easy to work on, and seats at least 3

oh also a classic coz road tax exempt

Wouldn’t you try a Panda (old) again? Those things are disappearing fast, particularly the early ones with cart springs at the back. I bet they are going to be serious money one day.

Any 80s Ford Escort panel vans still in a minimal rust state?

i’d love another panda (missus not so much)

course... if i buy a bad enough crap can... the missus might come around on getting another panda :p

slightly pre 80s... but looks pretty saveable

And a firs-generation Y10? Those are cute and quality was not too bad. A well-maintained one with the FIRE engine should go on forever.

MY GOD - get the 2CV and you will be my friend forever, short of rust on the body, the mechanicals are nigh on indestructible!

Wow these are all NP. Didn't need to see these considering I'll be in the Netherlands over New year's. Off to look up importing fees.

Depending on how painful/expensive the export process would be you could probably sell the 2CV to a stateside OPPO pretty easily.

Depending on my finances at the time I may be referring to myself.

lol pretty sure getting one shipped over from here shouldnt be too hard.... we got a big ole harbour

no idea about how pricey it would be tho

im thinking your best bet would be finding a local importer

And that's the one I really like. Most of these are nicer than my DD Crown Vic p 71. You should see some of the crap cans on the road here in Michigan but I'm sure you've heard.

I love them all - especially at those prices.

But for the Ring, there can only be one answer.

2CV and post a video of your lap!


Kinja'd!!! farscythe - makin da cawfee! > WilliamsSW

lol yeah the more i think about the more that sounds incredibly fun.... and slow and bodyrolly :p

The hardest part would be restraining your giggling the whole lap, I suspect!


Kinja'd!!! farscythe - makin da cawfee! > WilliamsSW
09/25/2018 at 11:22

Kinja'd!!!1

restraining?

man that whole video would be me laughing like a maniac on the downhill and egging the car on on the uphill... and possibly comments like... oh look... a vespa... lets catch it.... oh.... it ran away

lol honestly ive more than half way talked myself into it..... 2cv as my next car is looking like a very real possibility... when is the big question tho (got some job insecurities and the likes atmo.. so holding off for now.... but i am starting to get annoyed at not having a car)

Is this a serious request to go car shopping for you in the Netherlands? Are you willing to rent a car/buy from a neighboring country?

First hit (in more ways than one).
