Of all the "popular cars" of the post-war era, the Citroën 2 CV was one of the most original, practical and... intelligent. A blend of robustness, reliability and interior space (for its time), this iconic model is still greatly appreciated by enthusiasts, and many examples are still in daily use today.
This 1972 model, with its 602cc engine, is proof of this in every respect. Its two-tone colour scheme, often underestimated, still looks great, and is complemented by a refurbished interior and renovated mechanicals. The most recent and comprehensive roadworthiness test is valid until February 2026, and contains very few minor findings.
As practical as it is instantly recognisable, this is a representative example of one of the most popular cars in the automotive sector.
