Citroën-powered, and incredibly lightweight, the Pembleton Brooklands uses retro-futurist design and good old-fashioned hand-built craftsmanship to create something truly beyond the pale - exciting, fun, and mechanically simple, the Brooklands offers a unique blend of vintage aesthetics and modern reliability.
This particular example, built using parts from a 1986 Citroën 2CV, is a fine example that's clearly been cosseted. With a fine stock of paperwork and less than 2,000 miles having been covered since it was built, this fun, quirky little headturner offers a superb prospect for any hobby motorist who fancies a turn behind the wheel.
History and Paperwork
Built in 2015
Engine and mechanicals taken from a 1986 Citroën 2CV
No advisories on the last MOT in January 2024
Build completed with a MSVA Certificate issued on 8th January 2015
Currently indicates 54,699 miles on a five-figure odometer
Instruments taken from a Citroën GS, so the odometer is not a true reading
However we can discern the car has done less than 2,000 miles since 2015 via the MOT history
The registration number plate may not be sold with the car
The Condition
Hand-built car with minor imperfections but generally in good condition
Car is not painted - the bodywork is polished aluminium
Traditional leather straps and red accented wheels create a consistent classic feel
One leather bonnet strap is brittle and slightly torn due to contact with the exhaust pipe
Basic interior with aluminium floor and vinyl seat
Wooden dash in good order with all instruments legible
Stainless steel wheel with wooden centre really completes the array in style
The Mechanics
Kit car based on a 1986 Citroën 2CV engine, gearbox, and running gear
602cc H2 powerplant
Manual transmission with 4 gears
Petrol gauge sender unit is sticking or has a defect in the float and probably needs replacing
Other than this we understand the car to be in fine order
