Expert Citroen Mechanic Featured in Road and Track Magazine

Feb. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- (Toms River NJ)  Interest in the vintage Citroen 2CV has re-emerged amid rising fuel costs and a near meltdown of the automotive industry.  In New Jersey, expert Citroen mechanic, Noel Slade, has been bringing new life to old Citroen cars for the past 20 years.  

Last year, Road and Track magazine dedicated a two page spread honoring the reinvention of the Citroen 2CV, and the exceptional work of Noel Slade, one of a handful of expert Citroen mechanics in the US with the ability to fully restore or completely rebuild vintage Citroen cars from the ground up.

Slade owns Eurocar Imports in Toms River, NJ where he specializes in reinventing vintage Citroen cars.  According to Slade, many of his customers are first drawn to the Citroen due to its remarkable fuel economy.  A vintage Citroen 2CV can earn up to 40 miles per gallon around town and up to 50 miles per gallon on the highway.  The 2CV runs on regular fuel.  Beyond the mileage, the 2CV offers an unmistakable element of style, grace and sophistication.   Introduced by the French in the 1940’s, the Citroen was the premier choice of transportation for heads of state and French royalty.

Eurocar Imports draws the majority of its clients from the web, selling Citroen cars to consumers across the United States and Eastern Canada.   According to Slade, they can restore or rebuild any vintage 2CV that comes their way, no matter what its condition.  “There is nothing that is not available for the 2CV,” Slade says. “Some of the parts are aftermarket but are better than the originals.”

For vintage car enthusiasts looking to procure their dream Citroen, Slade offers completely customized rebuilds which include a new galvanized frame, floorpans, jody box section, exhaust system, seat covers, carpeting, headliner, canvas sunroof, bumpers, a low-mileage engine with new- disc brakes, a rebuilt transmission, new paint in a color of the buyer's choice, new chrome door trim and five new tires.  He can also re-create the  2CV's two-tone Charleston model. The yellow Charleston with black fenders is his most popular car. It also has chrome trim on the rocker panels and a passenger-side mirror. Consumers can also opt for an engine rebuilt to factory specifications.
