It looks interesting but almost no details - nothing on weight, what the engine options are, typical performance.

Looks cool and you can make some assumptions based on the fact that it's 2CV derived, but so little detail

It's not a performance car so that side is largely irrelevant.

Engine options are whatever you can fit and how much engineering you want to do.

Most Burton's are 2cv engined but it's a case of how creative you want to be.

I think it gives a fair bit of detail but if youre the kind of person that need ls to be spoon fed everything then it's probably not for you. "This bolt goes here" kind of thing...

Instructions for my "kit" and we're fairly basic. Not much more than "make and fit the bodywork". hehe

If you read the website they are just the UK distributor for the Holland based supplier.

It weighs 480KG

We suggest it’s best to buy a 80s 2cv with disc brakes and a 602cc engine.

There is also the Sparrow conversion using a flat twin BMW bike engine adapted to a 2CV transmission. There is a Green hillclimbing 2CV with one of these.
