Mrs V had a Lada like that one - as her first car. It was bright red, although I believe it was resprayed

There were certain local hills she had to avoid, especially if there were any passengers, as it just couldn't make it.

Years later, her Fiat Panda 999c wasn't much better

My Mum had 3 x Brand New 2CV’s from a local dealer. Each came with a bottle of bubbly as the keys were ceremonially handed over on collection day.

However my Mum used to tell people she bought a bottle of (Cheapish) Champers and got a free 2CV…..

I knew a lad who loved 2CVs but when he acquired a 2CV Dolly he couldn't stand the pith taking. In order to remedy the situation he peeled the D and Y decals off and used a marker pen to alter it to read "Boll*cks". Even so, we still used to titter at it.

I have owned 2 2CV’s one bought S/H and one new ( no champagne) . Another workmate owned a Lada.
One morning in the canteen he was subjected to some insults about his choice of car , so I thought I would join in . He turned to me and pointed at the 2 other workmates and said “ I will take that from them he has a Vauxhall and he has a Ford , but not from someone who owns an upside down pram French peasant car “.

Surprised we had several Fiat 1000's in Panda, Panda 4x4 & Cinquecento flavours all very good.

Not for around here. Lower powered Fiat Panda / 500s don't like our mountainous region at all.
