The DS (not CX - sorry to be a pedant!) is a Tissier conversion. Not sure if he's still doing them but he has also done them with XMs and yes, CXs too. They are quite often used in French film making as you can park a car on the back and it is fairly low - perfect for in car shots. One CX tissier was even used as a helicopter transporter! I found all this out in a French car mag I have but it was in French so can't translate much of it!

Thanks Ian,
Anyway you think thats thirsty. I used to won a 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88, that was a 'proper' 5 litre V8 and used to used 10 quids worth of fuel to work and back (15 miles) And Im not even going to mention the triple carbed Camaro with the 6.6 big block.
Back to 2CV's these days though :-) much better for wallet and the mind.

Ah, I can see we can have plenty of V8 chatter!
You haven't calmed down that much though with the Acadiane Mongrel!
