That was my initial reaction -- I didn't think that the 2CV had the hydropneumatic
weirdness of its younger and larger brethern, but then it came to me: The 2CV
is so fragile that if one were to load all that stuff into one its wheels would splay
outwards until the frame rails were resting on the ground -- hence self-leveling ;-)
