About Steve Hill

2CV

Steve Hill

 My name is Steve Hill and I started my 2CV repair business in February 1981 after leaving Nat West Bank in The City. I have had an A Series Citroen all my driving life and took my driving test in a 1971 Dyane 6 in 1973, before the reintroduction of the 2CV in right hand drive form. Click here to view a picture of my first work van and it's replacement.

In late 1977 myself and a few friends formed 2CVGB which is now a flourishing international 2CV Club. I have been on a countless number of 2CV Raids and you can see a little about them below together with a photograph.

I have attended all World Meetings since 1979 in Copenhagen and look forward to participating in the Greek World Meeting in 1999
2CV Raid Maroc

Raid Maroc 1978
A group of about 20 cars from Great Britain, Denmark and Norway met in Southern France and journeyed together in two groups to spend three weeks in Morocco visiting all the large cities and spending a few days and nights in the northern Sahara.
2CV in Las Vegas

Raid USA 1982
A group of 35 2CVs drove from New York to Los Angeles via Washington, Chicago, Denver, Flagstaff and San Francisco taking four and half weeks to accomplish the trip and making many longlasting American Citroen friends.
2CV in Canada

Raid Canada 1986
This time only 28 2CVs drove from Montreal to Vancouver just north of the 49th parallel visiting Niagara Falls, Thunder Bay, Winnipeg and Edmonton to finish in Vancouver before driving down Highway 101 to Southern California to drop the car off.
2CV's in Russia

Raid USSR 1990
This time I went by Mehari to the far western part of Russia, starting in East Berlin and driving across Poland and Belarussia, Minsk and Moscow, Nogarov and then on to Leningrad where we left the USSR and then drove through Finland to meet the Swedish 2CV Club for breakfast.

Raid American NW 1994
This raid overlapped the 1982 Raid a little in that it started in Vancouver and came inland to Montana, Yellowstone Park, back out to the Oregon coast, through a few more National Parks to finish in San Francisco where the car was shipped back to the UK
2CV in Australia

Raid Oz #3 1996
I now shipped the car from the last raid to Perth, Australia where we drove down the Gunbarrel Highway to Ayers Rock and on to Alice Springs and completed a circle to the north and then the northwestern and western coast before returning to Perth and flying home. The 2CV is still in Australia.
2CV's in the Artic Circle

Raid Laponie #8 2000
35 cars plunged the darkness 100 kilometres inside the Artic Circle in February only to be met with the warmest artic winter on record. We have to wait another 2 years to experience the 2CV in minus 25-40 deg.C

To find the dates of the next Raid Laponie visit the Finnish 2CV Drivers Guild Site

Dune de Pyla 2001
In May of 2001, 4 original 2CV Sahara's known as type AW, together with my own 2 engined 4 wheel drive van and another copy Sahara with 2x652cc Visa engines climbed the Dune de Pyla in south west France to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the original test climb in 1961.
