It seems as a good idea,but perhaps you should keep the original 2cv suspension and offer the coilover as an option.
In the Netherlans these cars are popular because of the use of original 2cv parts including chassis and drivetrain.
Overhere a car is made of 3 parts,chassis,body and engine and to get a license on a kitcar you can only chanche 1 of these parts otherwise you can't get it thru our biva.
If you offer it as a bodykit i can see potential for you to export the kits.

Seconded, bog-standard 2cv and Dyane 6 suspension and brakes are amazing and will gain additional benefit from the weight reduction.

Although the 602cc boxer twin is smooth and full of character (with minimal baffling in the exhaust), it could do with a boost in power, so I'd recommend offering an engine conversion kit as an option instead of the coil-overs. I'd start with Sparrow Engineering - http://www.sparrowautomotive.co.uk/citroen2cvbmw.html

I've always liked reverse tricycle cars myself so I'm watching this with interest.

Thanks for the info but are you saying the chassis is a rolling chassis ie; suspension, steering ect?
If the original rear axle is altered to a single wheel (Lomax style) would this still pass you test?
