Specially a Plums and Custard Dolly from the 1980s.

Should ave bought one new in the 80s but the (then) Mrs Fat Wolfie refused to be seen dead in one. So I bought a new 3 door Escort 1.1 Pop instead, starting an life long loathing of the Blue Oval.

Am currently “negotiating” with the current Mrs FW to get permission to secure one. Have my eyes on a couple but pandemic lockdown has rather spoilt progress.


In 2010 we did a huge trip in Australia (I drove 12,500 km and we also went with a tour in the NT and flew from Darwin to Brisbane before returning home to Italy) At a couple of places camping areas in the central desert we came across a group of 2 CVs, some of them wild and wonderful variations. Apparently they had been to a rally somewhere and a group of them, mostly retired, simply decided to keep going. I think their aim was to go right round Australia. We had a 4 wheel drive so we were taking a lot of unsealed roads whereas they were following the main sealed highway, none the less a big trip for a bunch of 2CVs
