Disappointed again... then maybe just maybe

Before we went to the pre-rally meet we had bid on and won another 2CV. A bit more than £20 this time but we hoped it would be the solution to all our problems. It was in Derbyshire so we went to see it on our way back to Yorkshire. First signs were hopeful... until we looked under the floor mat and found the floor had been very badly welded up and there was a large plate riveted onto the chassis. So Marvin II was not to be and we left downhearted again.
Then Marvin received an email, from a very kind reader of our blog who offered us 'a rolling chassis with 4 wheels and a rough 2CV body attached 'free of charge!' Step forward Jonathan Hardie and take a bow! The only problem was that the chassis was 200 odd miles away. But yet again Carl from H&H autos came to our rescue and has offered to collect it for us. We are now waiting with baited breath for it to be delivered at the weekend. So rumours of Marvin's death appear to have been exaggerated!
