1972 Citroen 2CV for sale on Hemmings.com

One wonders whether Emmett Kelly was still clowning around when he bought this 1972 Citroën 2CV at the age of 74. If so, interesting. If not, then does his ownership of it make it any more valuable than any other DeuxChevaux? Offered for $12,500 out of Frostproof, Florida. From the seller’s description:

Completely restored. New paint everywhere, new tires, all NEW rubber parts, NEW Wabaesto top. New chrome parts, runs and drives as NEW. Red and white paint. New seats, lots of books and manuals. Extra parts. Formerly owned by Emmit Kelly, famous clown. Good investment at $12,500. and not totally impractical to drive. Make friends and influence people. Carry large loads of French bread.
