Does it make a chitty chitty bang bang sound ?
Edit MOT says it's 1909 Talbot, looks a bit young for a 1909 but what do I know I was still in short pants then

The suspension looks much more sophisticated than a comparable Model-T. The lack of front brakes and dampers give a clue to its age.

Not rare by any means but this 1974 Series III has come a long way from working for the Southampton Sea Scouts to this obscure garage in Edzell, Angus.

This old 2CV might need quite a lot of work before its next MOT.
They are great fun to drive though, and immensely practical.
Friends had a very tatty one in France. The gear lever bracket had broken so that, when cornering, the lever would slide towards you or out of reach.
It might have been the same one that had a rust hole in the inside rear wheel arch, so that on wet roads a unaware back-seat passenger would develop damp buttock syndrome.

Pull it up on the MOT history page https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ the MOT tester must groan ever time it comes in, he has to go get a new pen to write all the fails down, the worrying thing is that after the MOT runs out tomorrow, if they park it up for another 5 years they can put it back on the road without an MOT.

That would have been a 'long' and expensive drive

If it has no remedial work for five years, the next time someone sits in it they'll probably fall through the floor.
