There are two 2CVs. He uses one when in the north of France and the

France is much larger than Britain in area, but the distance between
extreme points in the contiguous homeland is comparable. If you
were having a series on the UK, driving from Cornwall to Caithness
in a CV-like object would be insane. Which doesn't deny your point.

Pedantry noted! ;-)

Actually I thought of that when writing. I could have given that as a
comparison, I suppose.
