A true story ...
An old yachting friend of mine in Wokingham owns a petrol station and collects old Citroens particularly deux chevaux.
Anyway he bought one of these vans from Limoges Hospital, he had to replace the gearbox, it had spent its entire life delivering meals around the hospital site and had never been above second gear.
The bodywork is however immaculate and Adrian if you ever get to read this, we'd love to see it back " sur la continent".
