Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, leader of the Progressive Movement, has revealed that he has purchased the house in France where the late former Prime Minister Pridi Banomyong once lived.

 

In a television interview, he stated his intention to preserve the house, located in Antony, a southern suburb of Paris, as a memorial to the Thai political revolution of 1932.

 

Thanathorn said that Pridi spent his last days in this house.

Just that ugly "car" in front of the door is a reason not to buy it.

A Citroen Deux Cheveux (Two horses). 

The French Volkswagen only more betterer

Pridi - all respect to the man. A leader, along with Pribul, of the revolution in 1932 (?) which ended the absolute monarchy but, unfortunately, not the lesse majeste injustice. During WW2 Pribul sided with the Japanese while Pridi led the opposition. Deserving of more recognition of his place in history. His only failure was to be his inability to curb the power of the military and the hi so faction of Thai society which, to this day, has been the millstone around the nation's neck

It would be remiss of me to neglect to mention that Pridi was the driving force behind the establishment of Thammasat University - the conscience of the Thai people

I worked once on such a piece of s$#$ together with a friend who was a car mechanic.

We both had several moments when we didn't really know if we should laugh or cry.

I'm surprised the Powers-that-Be didn't burn this house down, or otherwise make it disappear.

 

Most vestiges of the 1932 action have been erased, paved over or vanished.

Unless parking is severely limited, best to avoid the 2cv and opt for the true Boulevard Ride of the Citroen Ds.

When I was young one of our neighbors had such a thing. I didn't like it.

And the neighbor was always wearing a hat in the car. It seemed that was somehow part of driving in that car.

 

To be fair, I liked the one from Fantomas

Enough! Let's just agree the car has to be pulled by two long-haired horses. 😀

It's so light that it's easy to push start.
