jitagon Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Does anyone know where I can get hold of a citreon 2cv? I've never seen them here, but heard somewhere maybe over the border in Vietnam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up2U Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Excuse me, but have you heard of Kampuchea or Cambodia ? It is a little strip of land that so annoyingly separates Thailand from Vietnam. But there's no 2CV's to be had there either. Can't recall seeing any in Vietnam, among all the motorbikes and cyclos. The people who had cars had new cars.

Guest chingy Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 is the citreon 2cv one of those really old car(classic), look like a VW bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 the last 2CV in SE Asia was destroyed when it plunged off a bridge in the battle scene in Coppola's 'Apocalypse Now'...imported to Philipines from Vietnam for that purpose...

tutsiwarrior Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 dr PP...hey, swear to god, some locals fished it out of the water and the panels now are part of the roof of a bar on the beach in some famous place somewhere...authentication certificate signed by Francis Ford Coppola...probably on display at the local filipino Planet Hollywood...

Johnny Moron Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Believe it or not, I actually saw a 2CV in Vientienne a couple of days ago. Equally surprising (to me at least), I also saw a new VW Beetle in a beautiful metallic blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 this is wonderful...I propose an unlawful association dedicated to snatching and preserving wonderful basic means of conveyance like the 2CV and the pre-1973 air cooled Volkwagen thereby enhancing market value to a point that the Ray Ban BMW and Mercedes jockeys that presently terrorize other motorists would have to sell their over designed contraptions to be turned into scrap in order to have a chance of acquiring a sensible motorcar... think of a world with only bicycles, buses, 2CVs and old VW bugs...'what a wonderful world it would be'...Sam Cooke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson steer Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Do they still make 2CV in France? Why would anyone want on? They have fold down windows and I seem to remember the gearstick was on the dashboard...right? The closest place I remember seeing one was Chittagong, Bangladesh, but I am not sure if you can drive it back here through Burma, although I believe there are plans for a new Burma highway.

edd Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Why would any one want a 2CV I was an AA Patrol in the U.K. for 32 years and trust me they are a night mare. the engine is twin horizontaly opposed air cooled unit (like a BMW motorcycle) but without the quolity. The bodey work is a joke if you lean on the wings they bend if you touch the top of the head lights(as in small candle) they fall out and hang on a piece of wire. Bonnet, doors, and boot you dont need a key to get in you just bend them out of the way. The road holding is an adventure for gods sake dont try to corner in one or the 2cv will be full of the brown smelly stuff, and it will be yours. This vehicle was built (well thrown togeather) for 1950`s for the french farmers, maybe thats why we all feel sorry for any one that`s French. Its only one step ahead of the Trebant and that was made from compressed paper). Edd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 The 2cv and Trabant are Rolls Royces compared to the Troll which had the same quality as your spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisele Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Why would anyone want on? They have fold down windows and I seem to remember the gearstick was on the dashboard...right? absolutely right! why do you want one in Thailand? I owned one a few years ago in France. It could go 80km/h if the wind was right, going down hill. The heater was simple, you opened a little pannel below the dashboard and you got some heat from the motor, simple ac as well, just flip the window open.

elfe Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I see a 2cv driving around on samui since years, still got the European number plates (forget which country's) and still seems to be in good condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 dr PP...I now suspect that you own suspicious vehicles and roar around BKK with scantily clad females in an open top arrangement...quite unbecoming for a supervisor of an award winning SE Asia forum.

Orion76 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 My business partner has one in Vietnam, installed a nice aircon and re-did the seating. It's a very comfortable car. They can be found in Vietnam but the steering wheel is on the wrong side. Also importing a car to Thailand is a nightmare, and I don't know for sure about Thailand but some SEA countries have laws against importing used cars to avoid becoming the west's junkyard. And you'd better know a good mechanic with access to legacy citroen spare parts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 orion76...you need all the horsepower from a 2CV engine to power any sort of A/C arrangement...your friend must either have real horseflesh towing the car or local coolies providing the propulsion from behind. dr PP...you are unfair...poor old tutsi is poor and unemployed and would love the option to cruise in comfort with the biggest, heaviest monstrocity that RR/Bently could provide.

adjan jb Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 There's only ONE 2cv in Thaïland and it's in Samui. It still has a French plate (75, for Paris). But the (French) owner will never sell it. There are some in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 If the car has been run on french plates for the past few decades then I think it would be more accurate to say the froggy cannot sell it. The back taxes would be more than the car is worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gentleman Scamp Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 You won't find a 2CV over here, and even if you did it's extreemly unlikely it's owner would want to sell it. To get one imported would be a very expensive and difficult thing to do, very stressful too. Forget it. You've got more chance of finding a DeLorean at Carrefour.
