The Appeal
Perhaps one of the most iconic cars in history, the 2CV and its decidedly simple design is an immediately recognisable vehicle. The car was in production for over forty years, aided in part by its innovative suspension, and easily serviceable air-cooled engine that required only a basic working knowledge. By the end of production, over 3.8 million were built.
This example, with the largest engine the cars carried at a whopping (!) 602cc, comes to us following a restoration, and looks to be in utterly superb condition - ready and waiting to prove its sheer versatility for the lucky buyer.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
