9th December 2023 Classic Auction Car Video Catalogue part one with Paul Cowland 

What a lovely thing to say. Thank you! I hope we can welcome you at our place soon! ❤

I believe the answer to your question is that it is because the restoration was done by a keen amateur, not a 2CV specialist workshop, and that it shows. The road test video looked impressive, it does indeed look very attractive and, on paper, with all that work done, would seem a desirable bargain to any potential 2CV purchaser. Yet all that glitters is not gold. With the following VW Beetle being a typical example (some £21k spent), it seems to me that a LOT of money can be lost if spent on the wrong project. Perhaps good for the buyer, (if major work is finished) but certainly not for the seller. Perhaps my loss, it may be all it seems, and I hope it is, but I will pass.

@@EnlightenedPatriot1 I decided to pass also so I agree. I do think however that there seems to be little difference between a keen amateur and a so called 2cv specialist who knowingly takes a short cut. The carpet is a big no-no for me it indicates a lack of knowledge and pre 2000 Citroens are cars that do need to be understood.

It does, but didn't want to slam it as it peaks the mic 👍

Sold my metallic brown Chopper Sprint for £15!

I got a tenner for mine

Skipped my purple coloured one !

In 1977 I was given £60 for passing my 11 plus exams and in the bike shop desparately wanted the special edition Silver Jubilee Chopper - Mag wheels, rear drum brake. Told it was dangerous (it was) and it would be too small for me in less than a year so ended up with a Kalkhoff racer instead. Shame really as I guess thats the most prized Chopper out there?
