There was a story about the French entry of the 2CV in the Monte Carlo Rally. A rock slide blocked the road and all the entrants were held up, waiting for the road to cleared. The Frogs dismantled the 2CV, carried it over the obstruction. reassembled it and went on their merry way.


But the road crews arrived and took care of the slide.......and all the rest of the pack overtook the 2CV half an hour later.

That sounds reasonable to me, except I don't think they would have needed to dismantle it to carry it around. My friend's brother owned one back in the 60s, and there didn't seem to be much metal in it. The roof was fabric, and the seats were something like a lawn chair. Four beefy high school kids could have picked it up. That car was great fun. Unsafe, but fun.
