Jesus the people who already bought their teams and are desperate to find solace in the fact they jumped the gun and will be facing pretty substantial losses are really out today . <| sep |> Snagged from 2 cvhistory 2 cv Before the Second World War , Citron came up with the idea of producing a cheap , simple car . The project was called Toute petite voiture and the car had to meet the following requirements First and foremost , it had to be a cheap car and had to be affordable for the average farmer or labourer . The little vehicle had to be big enough to transport a 50 litre barrel of wine and strong enough to carry a couple of sturdy passengers . The suspension had to be so good that trays of eggs could be carried without a hitch . And on Sundays , the car had to serve as a form of transport for driving to church . the driver had to be able to keep his hat on inside the car .
