The Pembleton is a name synonymous with distinctly eccentric, hand-built roadsters - lightweight Citroën-powered cars that take influence from the golden age of open-top racing. With their hand-built bodywork and retro-futurist aesthetics, these have become real head-turning cars that offer a unique twist on traditional motoring with modern creature comforts and hardy, reliable European mechanicals.
This 2012 example is a fabulous one that's as charismatic as it is engaging. The 602cc 2CV engine with twin Dellorto carbs and 5-speed manual gearbox offer a responsive and engaging drive, while the low weight ensures nimble handling. This particular example has been lovingly maintained by its one former registered keeper and is in excellent condition.
