The appeal
Conceived in secret during the dark years of the Second World War, the Citroën 2CV was exactly the sort of simple, tough and affordable vehicle France would need after the Liberation. Built for 42 years, the 2CV has become one of the most loveable and iconic cars ever made—an actual showcase of practical simplicity and unapologetic minimalism. Its air-cooled flat twin engine, interconnected suspension and lightweight construction offer a driving experience that feels completely different to anything you can buy today.
The Special E version benefits from front disc brakes, and this 1982 example—presented in Jade Green—looks particularly appealing. Resprayed around five years ago, the bodywork still has a lovely sheen and shows only a few minor issues noted. The interior has been recently restored and the seller states it’s in excellent condition. Mechanically, the car has recently had a thorough service, and with a valid MOT plus matching-number details stated, it appears ready to continue its life on the road.

This sale is subject to Car & Classic’s terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, meaning that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s terms and conditions.
✓ We require that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for the specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “sold as seen”, on a “tel quel, where it stands” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only and it is standard practice to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer’s deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final price of the offer or bid, as specified in the advert.
✓ We want to make sure the transaction runs smoothly, just as you do, and that’s why cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to confirm that they have no underlying insurance database markers for damage or theft, and that they are not subject to a financial charge—allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off following a total loss at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and provide category write-off labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. The presence or absence of a label, however, does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it’s always useful to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer.
✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles can result in additional customs duties and import taxes. If you’d like, we can recommend a third-party shipping company to help. For more details and to speak to the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
