Lomax 223
Bob's Lomax 223
I bought it in April 2008, following a serious illness, which made me realise I was not immortal, and that if I did not do anything about my hankering for one of these, I never would! I started looking around for a donor car, but by now 2CVs were rather old, and either fit only for the scrapyard, or immaculate, expensive, and would be criminal to break up for it's parts. Then I saw this one on Ebay, bid for it, and got it. It was absolutely faultless when I got it, and the drive home from Blackpool to Sittingbourne had me smiling the whole way. I was amazed how quickly 600cc could propel it with the needle off the clock most of the way, and it returned around 65 MPG to boot. On looking at the folder of paperwork that came with it, I saw that there was only 8 miles between the 2 previous MOTs. I suspect this was the distance to and from the test centre. I had just done 300 miles in the first day of ownership. It still looks pretty good, but I bought it to use and enjoy, not just to look at it in my garage.
