Pri Googlu so si v svojih pariških prostorih zaželeli pravo francosko legendo Citroen 2cv azam.


wanted a true icon for their new French headquarters in Paris.  Something that reflects French culture, spirit and ingenuity.   Their choice?   A Citroën 2CV of course!   But their wish wasn't realized by simply finding one and parking it.  As their offices at 8 London Street were on the second floor, and a 2CV would not fit in the elevator, any car they found would have to be disassembled.   The operation was orchestrated by V12 GT.com and two Citroën 2CV enthusiasts.
 
Ultimately, a lovely red 1967 AZAM model was located belonging to the owner of a mini golf course in Cabourg on the coast of Normandy.   Fenders, engine and chassis were removed and the body cage was shrink-wrapped in plastic for the trip to the 9th arrondissement (district) of Paris.   Once there, the sections were hoisted through a window on rue de Clichy that just barely exceeded the car's width of 1.48m.
 
Re-assembly was then carried out for the grand opening of Goggle's office by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt.
