French grass roots Enginepunks

Following on from the 2CV hotrod here's a Sahara replica spotted in France - nothing too rad just someone doing it for himself. Or possibly herself.

This is a Q car. It's not what it seems. Q cars are named after Q ships built in World War 1. They looked like helpless and vulnerable freighters but as soon as a submarine surfaced to fire upon them, down would come the rusty superstructure and there would be some big guns to blow the sub out of the water.

2CVs are great starting points for engine punk stuff. Taking the musical analogy further, they are classics - people keep doing cover versions! Each time it's subtlely different.

Personally, I reckon Enginepunkness can be highly finished and above production car values. Enginepunks do it because they can.

Or they can be old bangers....

I haven't a clue what lurks beneath the panels of this push-me pull-you 2CV or what type of competition it was built for - or even which way it's facing - but it oozes attitude IMHO.








Finally, a 2CV tank.

Engine Punk because .... 2 engines, two front ends and a tank - no justification needed I think.
