Not saying it's gospel, but coincides with my memory..... The VDP 1100/1300 was amazing inside!

The 2CV story will help the selling price, whatever state the car is in. The roof looks like it is finished as a P&O flag- cool.

Citroen AX GT is getting very rare as well. The example in the auction looks to be in excellent shape!

Reality check needed.....
So, you'll be off to the auction with a transporter then, Mike?

BTW, my first car was a Morris 1100, before I discovered the error of my ways - don't buy a car that's spent it's early years next to the North Sea (well, Cley-next-the-Sea).
