The 2CV has leading arm front suspension to match the trailing arm rear. The track rods are at the back of the wheel, as is common on Citroens.
2CVs were popular donors for kits becaus the body was held onto the ladder chassis with just a couple of bolts. You could have the donor stripped in
minutes. Also the engine could be doubled in power and still last another 100,000 miles.

Is it just me, or does it look startled.

later 2CVs had 23 BHP. Big barrel kits and a bit of tuning gave 50 BHP. 100 BHP per tonne was quite good in the 80s.
