Citroën 2CV6 Club of 1982 "Red Alert" Specifications: Displacement: 602 cc (the engine is getting smaller...)

Typical: Secound Visa i owned, but it didn't came close to my first one. Fate: scrapyard, because of ubelieveble more rust.

The above results show clearly that the Visa is most efficient: with less power per kg than the two others, it has the best acceleration. It still takes ages...
