PCS-B016 Citroën 2CV Van Kit - 1/32 scale slot car kit. RRP £35.00. Available now from Pendle Slot Racing here

This wonderful new kit from Pendle Slot Racing's resin kit range is taken from an original master by Nicolas Bortfeldt and adapted to fit the PCS 32 chassis. It is a beautiful model of the Citroën 2CV Mini-Van, of which 1.25 million were produced in various guises between 1951 and 1978...

   

The original 2CV AU, which is modelled here, was unusual at the time for a delivery van as it was front-wheel-drive. It shared the same reputation as the 2CV for reliability and versatility and became a ubiquitous sight in France, its colonies and neighbouring countries. The PCS kit will be ideal as a slot car or a static model on many different layouts. These fabulous pictures are of a kit built and decorated by Dave Wisdom as a standard van...

Love the van

I would love a red/white 2CV Dolly more, especially if you could replicate the humongous amount of suspension travel they had.

Many a night in my misspent youth rally crossing my mates mums 2CV across fields and hooning around

What that kit needs is one of Nonfractal's cigarettes for the driver's mouth!
