discussion Heller Citroen 2CV

[Guest]

Built in France before WW2 exported all over including thousands into the UK. Unique suspension system years before anyone else, drive anywhere, originally used on French Farms and vineyards to cover rough ground without breaking an egg!

Corrugated bodywork for strength in such thin steel, two cylinder air cooled engine driving the front wheels, the first manufacturer to have all the works under the bonnet with no transmission tunnel to get in the way, flat floor perfect for space, for passengers and carrying loads, with removable canvas seats and full length canvas sun roof.

This one of Heller's cv's in 1/32.

After the War, I thought, appeared some iconic models like this one. It's habitual to see one of them still running in our roads!!

Nice one! I like the colour

Thanks Polux for your comments, yes we still have quite a few here in the UK. The lovable 'Tin Snail'

Oh got rid of photobucket, too much agro Had 2.1GB of space used 0.6GB they said I had sued up my space and insisted on me buying far more space than I needed. Sent numerous emails, only robot reply of how I get over by 'Troubleshooting error'!

Replaced Photobucket with fotki

They said I'd used up my free allocation of space 2.1GB and I've only used 0.6GB! They wanted me to buy too much space that I would never use!

Yes Monica, I've built a lot of 1/43 race and rally car models over the years also with challenging decal sets, bringing me even more satisfaction when their done right.
