The iconic 2CV. Citroën’s recognisable, affordable family car that reigned for 42 years. Its inexpensive cost and servicing requirements helped it become one of France’s and Europe's best-selling vehicles and the first front-wheel drive car to reach 1 million units produced.
This 1989 registered variant is one of the last to be produced, with changes in European emission standards very few late 2CVs were made. It was purchased in 2021 by the current owner as a nostalgic reminder of their younger years. Registered with the DVLA as a Dolly and with some of the distinctive red colour scheme poking through in places, this 2CV now wears a black and grey Charleston livery and presents really well.
Overall, this car is very well put together, mechanically sound and in great health thanks to its previously dry stored life, it could benefit from some additional attention for perfection to be reached, however, it can still be used and enjoyed immediately.VHGOJS9E9OKeMOSWUmvFSfIcgry5ZIscquiIh4SU.jpg456.59 KB

The characterful, quaint Citroën 2CV6 is a recognisable French icon. Initially released post-war to be an affordable solution for the French population, it soon became a global superstar before being retired after 42 years of production.
This later 1989 model is one of the last cars to come off the production line, just as the modern world was starting to overshadow the 2CVs simplistic approach. This remarkable car helped generation after generation get on the road and thanks to low ownership and low mileage life we expect this little Citroën will continue to do so for many years to come.
