Rescuing Abandoned 1963 Citroen 2CV // Project Patina Part 1

Abandoned 1963 Citroen 2CV RESCUE // Project Patina part 1. This is the first part of a mini series VLOG documenting why Jonny Smith decided to save a car whose owner sadly disappeared without paying the outstanding bill on this restomodded (and now beautifully patinated) suicide door 2CV. In this episode you will see the 2CV run for the first time in years, then drive into the workshop where the team strip it and remove the bodyshell within several hours!
