The Background
The Citroen 2CV is one of those cars that everyone knows, and it sits among some classic power houses of the automotive industry.
It was the simple but innovative design that sealed the success of this French classic. Launched in 1948 in Paris, it was in production all the way to 1990 in which time several improvements were made, but the classic lines of the 2CV remained.
We have all heard the story about carrying a basket of eggs on the passenger seat across a plowed field at speed without breaking any which is now a legendary story.
With this example being one of the later ‘Dolly’ versions it benefitted from two tone paint and several of the aforementioned changes made in the previous 40 years.
The History
This little 2CV has had a nice life, with lots of paperwork to back up its history. Since its registration in 1987 it has only seen three owners, with one being a specialist 2CV dealer.
For the past few years, it has been strictly driven in the summer and as a result the milage is still very low.
Throughout the current ownership there has been lots of work carried out, including the kingpins, new front and rear bumpers, and a new stainless exhaust system.
It even comes with the original radio cassette player.
The Paperwork
There is documentation with the car that shows all the work carried out.
There has been a combination of cosmetic and mechanical work completed, this ranges from new fog lamps and a chrome grill to new brake discs and pads all round.
This 2CV also comes with its original bill of sale from 1987, something you probably wouldn’t see these days.
The Interior
The interior of a 2CV will always be basic but functional and this example is presented in great condition.
Over the current ownership there's interior parts that have been replaced, this includes sun visors, dashboard, seat covers and much more.
The Exterior
Presented in Bamboo Green over Alpine White, this is an honest example of a 2CV.
The current owner has put a lot of love into this 2CV, so much so that it has been stored under a gore-tex rain cover when not in use.
The Mechanics
With this car being looked after so well, as you can imagine any mechanical work that has had to be done has been done well.
With new brake pads and discs, and king pins replaced back in 2018 and also a new battery not so long ago, this is a car that is ready to hit the road.
The Appeal
Everyone has a soft spot for the iconic Citroen 2CV, and this version of the cult French classic is a great example of how well they can be looked after and preserved, and it is a great example to look at.
With this being a 2CV, you have the chance to transport your eggs across a plowed field without breaking them and when you get there enjoy a picnic.
This is an honest car that will never fail to turn heads due its cute character and simple lines that have now become synonymous with classic French vehicles.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
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.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
