Not as far as I know. There's an Irish Section of the Citroen Car Club in the UK, it is worth joining. There's an annual Irish Citroen meet - this year it is in Carlingford Co. Louth on the first weekend of July. If the last one is anything to go by, it will be worth attending. There's never enough 2CVs at the meets for my liking - lots of Tractions, CXs and DSs, though. The organiser has a spectacular 1961 425cc 2cv - he'll be bringing that, I hope.

What do you have? I've a bit of a longing for a Dyane and/or an Ami Break.

2cvgb is also worth joining, but I don't think they are that active over here.

A faded-red 1988 2cv6 Club.
Chassis sorted, bodywork... in progress...

Would have thought that there was one, after all there is a mini moke club My aunt had a Dolly, lots of personality, not much engine

I think the 2CV has a fabulous engine - it's just tiny.

Nope, no 2CV club in Ireland...
I've had mine since mid-last year ('88 2CV 6), same as yourself... chassis good, body in progress ;-) Just changed points, plugs, leads, coil and condensor... now waiting on a timing light I bought to reassemble...

Not anymore, the 2 cv race calendar only shows Brittish race tracks.

I think they also run in Spa-Francorchamps.

When was the 2cv first sold in Ireland? around I948? or did it arrive like 40 years later........ The reason i ask is that I have an old John Hinde postcard of Dublin taken in the early 60s and there is a 2cv parked outside Trinity college, blue in colour with the suicide font doors.

No affialiation but there's a guy just outside Craughwel who is trying to get rid/sell 2x2cv's, Think they would have to be triaged to build one good one, if anyone's interested email me on dklynsmith@eircom.net and I'll give you directions or find his phone number.Repeat NO affiliation!!
There's also a beautiful Burgundy and Black 2CV in Gort that I envy

Hi I'm after getting two 2cvs in the last few years and have restored one fully. I've met several people with 2cv's and am interested in starting a small owners club hear. At the moment I'm finding people that might be interested. If you are interested could you PM me and ill get in touch. And i would be happy to send on my number if any one knows people that would be interested.

Brilliant idea with the 2CV club. I am an 2CV enthusiast from South Tipperary and just in the process of restoring my 1978 2CVSpecial, hope to have it ready for spring. I really would like to meet up with other 2CV friends, maybe we can arrange something?

Hi Guys,

There's more of us around OK - just never get out much!!

I've an '88 Special & have so much fun with it. Ever since I fitted it with an ECAS 'super' coil & 123 ignition it's a little cracker!!!

One question for the rest of the 2CV gang... has anyone used the vacuum advance facility on their 123 ignition? - they reckon it's optional & i'm not presently using it but can't help to think that it might make her that bit better running - especially when the engine is loaded (accelerating etc.)

I'm a big Citroen fan & was set on a DS earlier in the year until I went & blew the be-jaysus out of the budget I had for building a garage:eek:

I'm new to boards so maybe I'll hear a bit more from ya all.

All the best.

PAUD MCKEOWN

Sorry just found this site, and saw that you had a 2cv for sale

I know it is a ridiculous time lag, but still I thought I would ask anyway.

Have you sold them.

kasper

post 25 says the two photographed together are sold

bijapos

There are a few for sale here.

PAUD MCKEOWN

Great stuff thanks. Have just sold a 1990 six special that I had for ten years, and I am suffering from serious separation anxiety so I am desperate to get another one. But just saw a 1954 Traction Avant today and I think its love at first sight there is a fantastic piece of Citroen engineering.

kasper

put up a picture here when you get it

General Lee

what is the situation with the other car in the picture. Is it operational and is it for sale.

I think he is referring to the VW's in the background of the photos ....

The Corrado is long gone, the Mk1 Golf and Karmann Ghia are not for sale i'm afraid!

Hello
I sold JZS 94 in 1998. What a surprise to see it come up in a websearch! Do you know please where it went? It was a very faithful friend for me for 10 years. I think I must have sold it to you (?) as I knew it was going to Wexford.
kind regards.

kleebes

I have just bought JZS 94 ! Hope to drive it in the spring 2017

unkel

Welcome to boards, kleebes
