Reg owned a lot of machines in those days. Many's the car that bore the legend "For Reg" for a couple of years.

Spotted today in Rathfarnam. John (the owner) bought this new in 1967 and has driven it since.

John and his ice cream van featured on the RTE documentary 'Too Old To Drive'. (Which is most likely now available on RTEPlayer). Great to see such a classic vehicle still in 'everyday' use .....well 'everyday' in the summertime anyway

Dublin today;

Single tail pipe, humped rear panel, dechromed, colour keyed bumpers... looks a bit too new for a 1973 plate?

The single tail pipe and, especially, the rear foglight, are the significant differences.

2CV = original car.
Dyane = updated, modernised version, with all-different (but similar) body panels and most noticeable difference being its faired-in headlights.
2CV Dolly = special edition of the 2CV with two-tone paint and decals, sold very well and towards the end of production, so they are still relatively common today, as they are among the newest survivors.
