A man in UK is making a tidy sum with a factory to refurbish junk 2CV's and re-sell them, often back to France, their country of origin. A junked 2CV purchased from a junkyard for £300 can, when refurbished, sell for £11,000 or higher.
Good profit for a car that was often thought of as an ugly duckling. They were easy to maintain and cheap, though, making them the French equivalent of the Volkswagen Beetle, and popular for the same reason.
Here's a pic, if you're not familiar with them:

I remember them well, and like you, would love to own one.
They in the "so ugly it's cute" category.
An old friend of mine had one of those back in 1970s easy to work on crazy car the suspension could make you feel sea sick but great little car.
