Our 2CV Technical Breaks take place in September and June at Chatenet in the South West of France. We are located in the Charente Maritime, 60 kms North of Bordeaux and 40 kms South of Cognac.

The course is aimed at 2CV owners who want to gain mechanical knowledge about their car, be able to service the car and undertake basic repairs.

2010 dates now available June course will be 15th - 19th June 2010 and the long awaited ADVANCED course in September on 21st to 25th.

On the advanced course we intend to include clutch replacement [involves engine removal] and king pin replacement.

What we provide

We will provide a note book and pen to make your own notes.

The Technical Break will include, what to look for when buying a car, how to service the car in full, fitting brake pads, adjusting brakes, fitting electronic ignition, preparing for MOT test and other items on request.

All technical sessions will take place under cover in our garage area and outside workshop facility.

All sessions will be of a hands on and practical nature and will be carried out on a 2CV and rolling chassis provided by 2CVTech although participants who arrive in their own cars may use them as training vehicles.

Tuition throughout the three days will be carried out at a relaxed pace to suit all participants.

Getting here is easy using budget airlines flying to Bordeaux or Angouleme, or by train from London [we will provide a free collection service from these locations]. You could even bring your own 2CV.
