BMW bike engined Citroën 2CV eats b-roads for breakfast. Practical family car? Definitely.

In my 69 years I never been able to accurately define my favourite sort of car. THIS ONE ticks all the none existent boxes. Fabulous. Thank you.

Never in a million years would I have thought I wanted one of these. I want one.

There's something about putting modern engines in old cars that makes me so happy. It's the best of both worlds.

What a true gentleman willing to show us his wonderful creation. A true sleeper of a 2CV kind. Definitely not something you will see too often.

The sound composition of the angry 2cv-style BMW-engine and the genuine howling 2cv-gearbox is unbeatable. Exactly like it should be. Great job!

The badge on the back should show "2CV very special".

hi there ! i had the chance to drive this special 2cv in France Normandy several months ago (because Robert is a friend of mine) and i have to say : "WOW !! what is this ?". As he said; i loved it because it is a real 2cv (and i can say that i know these cars well) but it has the heart that was missing in the original one : an engine !!! I was spechless and i just couldn't stop smiling while driving !!! When this beast revs about 5000/6000, it sounds like a 2nd engine begins to play !!! thank you for that Robert (and Pete !)

The speed and sound must catch a lot of other motorists by surprise. Imagine being overtaken by it 😂😂 Absolutely inspired 😂😂😂

I was a child and my father had a 2CV. At the time the police use to run R75's and I always wondered...why not?. Here is the reality. Chapeau !

When we bought our first house in 1985 we were really skint and needed a car. A three year old 2CV filled the bill perfectly. We bought a bigger car in 1990 but I kept the 2cv till 1993 when sadly it suffered terminal chassis rot. Although I'd sprayed Waxoyle into all the drain holes in the chassis, I didn't realize there were blanking plates in the chassis tubes which stopped the waxoyle getting into the section under the front passenger footwell. Brilliant little car , perfectly driveable, although I was once burnt off by a reliant robin 😂😂😂. Happy days . What I could have done with 95 bhp tho.!!! Thanks for showing us this

Wonderful little car had 2 of they few in South Africa , my father was a Citroen nut .I had the 498 cc and the 603 cc .Father had DS20 AND the Citroen Maserati SM , we used to fix them. A ll motor cars way ahead of there years at the time (1970's) . Miss you dad.

Love that. I ride a BMW bike with one of those engines. The thought of one in a 2CV is very appealing.

This proves you don't need a 6 Ltr engine and 35cm wide tyres to have fun, the essence of motoring.

Great car! Great interview! No music! Informations for gearheads!😊

Impressive the factory gearbox can handle 4x the power, what a cool car!

Love it Will. A friend of mine has been waxing lyrical about a 2cv ‘buggy’ with a BMW engine. I must show this to him to inspire him to do something ‘stupid’. Keep going with these things, loving the rebirth of PPC.

The interiour sound is still real 2CV! oh how I love the singing noise ot the transmission! I had that on my old VISA, too.

In the 70's I worked in France. Visiting a car-parts store, I saw a line of racks with hanging transparent plastic bags, each filled with a 2CV engine 😂 Later I drove several 2CV's and Dyanes, in the desert and on UK roads. That pram-handle gearshift and going round corners 'scraping the door handles' was iconic and great fun. Cheap, cheerful, light, comfortable, reliable. Brilliant practical engineering. It's unbelievable to me to see the prices they now command for a good-condition car.

This is the stuff of my childhood dreams. I lived in the UK from age 3 to 7, and my dad’s car history there and in Canada included a Panhard, Heinkel bubble car, two Renault 4CV’s, a Dauphine, an R8 and R16. Ones that got away included a Messerschmidt, Mini Cooper S and a Lotus Elan. As a boy, I imagined stuffing a BSA 650 twin into a Heinkel. This is on a whole other level, and strange as it may sound, far more practical!

Not unlike rescuing an abandoned puppy. Pure love of a man.
