\"Custom<\/a><\/p>\n

Peter Thurston is building a unique race car at his company Peter Thurston Racing<\/a> in the UK. The Citro\u00ebn 2CV<\/a> typically comes front-wheel drive with an air-cooled two-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission. Peter is building his custom 2CV using a rear-wheel drive tubular chassis. Over that goes a steel body, fiberglass front, custom firewall and floor, and wider fenders. A 4.6 L Rover V8 will generate power and send it through a Rover LT77 transmission and Ford Sierra rear end. View the project’s progress on Peter Thurston Racing’s FB page<\/a>. <\/p>\n
