This is what I built in 1993 out of my Citroen 2CV Charleston with my recently departed Brother in Law in the driving seat.

I first knew about the 750 motor club back in the “black and white” days when we would go to their trials meetings. Great entertainment watching highly modified small cars negotiating up impossible courses. A generation later after competing, with some success in Kart racing from cadet level for six years, I discovered the 750 motor club ran stock hatch racing. Which allowed kids of sixteen to get a licence to compete. So I found myself adapting the awesome little Peugeot 205 gti (the road version could take the Mk1 Golf gti to the cleaners) for my son to compete in the 750 clubs meetings. However that didn’t end so well. Not an accident or anything nasty like that but anyone who has gone through the trauma of bringing up teenagers that are embarrassed to be seen in your company will probably understand.No I wasn’t in the 750 car club as I knew nothing about it, but the kit car I built with the 2CV I had the engine rebored from 601 cc to 650cc lightened the flywheel lowered the suspension and fitted anti roll bar and it drove and handled very well, I wish I never sold it.
