I did see an Acadiane once that had a GS1220 4 pot engine squeezed in. That would have been a hoot! I had a GS (bought it new in 1973) and it went like a good 'un.

Tom's son built up a 2CV with a 4 cyl, GS engine, it went very well indeed (hysterical overtaking on the motorway!) necessitating a very strong internal roll cage...

Where's the Velo-Solex? I thought it was almost obligatory for 2CV nuts to have one of those as well!

Don't do 2 wheels, Balance better on 4. Nice piece of machinery the Velo- Solex does just enough of what's needed

I have a VeloSolex, a 3800 from 1966. It does everything it says on the tin, but only if the tin says "crap". Fine for inner cities where the roads are flat. Useless here in the Cevennes where there are hills everywhere. If you want it, make me an offer.
