<\/a><\/p>\nThe car has always sold extremely well in Benelux but has never really gained a foothold here, mainly because sales elsewhere were so strong. It was launched in year 2000 and was the work of Dutch brothers, Iwan and Dimitri G\u00f6bel, enthusiastic 2CV specialists.<\/p>\n
Within a year they\u2019d sold nearly 100 of them running the company alongside their established 2CV Parts and Duck Hunt 2CV Conversions businesses. The sales total is now nudging 1400 worldwide.<\/p>\n
Although not a replica, the Burton is clearly inspired by various cars of the past such as those by Bugatti, Talbot-Lago and Delahaye. In November 2022, the G\u00f6bels sold their companies to the huge French 2CV Mehari Club Cassis operation.<\/p>\n
Darren tentatively displayed his fledgling demo car at Malvern last weekend albeit in a lowkey way on the Citro\u00ebn Specials club stand but reaction to it was extremely encouraging. We\u2019ve been promised the EXCLUSIVE first drive roadtest \u2013 thanks Darren \u2013 and that feature will appear very shortly in TKC MAG.<\/p>\n Both kits and fully built cars will be available with base packages from \u00a35429.99 inc VAT or a deluxe kit at \u00a36529.25 inc VAT which includes GRP bodykit, bonnet, boot lid, gearlever and engine bay fittings. If you wish, as you\u2019d expect from of the country\u2019s foremost experts on all things 2CV, Darren can supply you with all the donor parts you need from \u00a3650. As mentioned, he can also build you one to your specification \u2013 in any colour you like including black!<\/p>\n Incidentally, Mehari kits cost \u00a36600 inc VAT but that\u2019s only the tip of Darren\u2019s 2CV-flavoured iceberg!<\/p>\n Having had a good look at the new UK Burton website, I think I can safely say that it is one of the most impressive specialist car site that I have ever seen. It\u2019s interactive, it\u2019s informative and it is easy to navigate.<\/p>\n Find out more from www.burtonsportscar.co.uk<\/a> or for Mehari and beyond visit https:\/\/the2cvshop.co.uk<\/a> ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
