CitroëN 2cv

Many classic cars have passed through Mark Paxton’s workshop doors for repair and restoration over the years. He is a dedicated petrolhead with a love for both four wheels and two. A move away from the motor trade and into classic car and motorcycle journalism has allowed him to put onto paper some of the experience gained during that time in the form of magazine articles and several books.

2CVGB News, July 2007 - UK magazine If you're going to look at any second-hand car, taking an expert on the model along with you is the obvious ideal. If that car happens to be a 2CV then Mark Paxton's well-written book may be even better. -- As someone who has, on several occasions, let emotion preside over common sense when looking at a second-hand A-series, I wish Mark Paxton had written this guide about ten years ago. He might have saved me a lot of money. Mark Holman for New Zealand Classic Car, October 2007 NZ magazine
