The Abandoned 1963 2CV is Finally Finished. How Does it Drive?

The Abandoned 1963 2CV is Finally Finished. How DoeWelcome to the finale part of Jonny Smith's mysterious derelict classic Citroen rebuild project. If you've followed this project car series you will know of the way it has been invisibly restored in order to celebrate its patina condition, but return to the Road in reliable and fit condition. Despite being tax and MoT exempt, Jonny wanted to give it a fresh MoT after spending so long on the resurrection process. Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
