2CV Citroen- again!

This one was at the Stouffville (north of Toronto) car show today. By the front door handles (suicide doors) I'm guessing a pre-1965 model. The car was wide open and we got a peek under the hood- and through the roof.
 The boxer engine of 425cc is right up by the bumper, we were confused with the two spark plugs but four intake runners till we figured out that the pipes on the right were exhaust, also acting as a heat riser for the carburetor. There's enough room for another trunk above and behind the engine!
A photo through the removable fabric roof shows the utterly simple cockpit. Basic utility transportation at its finest.

    I loved these cars. Airbags are for the nervous type

    I was involved with a hobby and model show where I organised for car clubs to display their cars. I also allowed people who attended the show but had an interesting car to park their cars to be displayed. A chap turned up in a 2CV, and he parked his car. Not 5 minutes later, another visitor arrived in a 1971 AMC Javelin, so I had him park next to the 2CV. That was a juxtaposition as well!
