It contained a 2CV in its under seat 'boot', in case the rider ever wanted to cross a ploughed field with a basket of eggs.

With a front 'mudguard' that size, it must be two wheel drive?

In case the 2CV doesn't actually make it across the ploughed field.

Country is immaterial. Look at it - what would you think it was incapable of?
