Description
The 2CV Pick-Up was first marketed in 1949 under the name 2CV and met with resounding success, thanks to its limited size, dexterity in getting around in built-up areas and sufficient cargo space. At the Paris Motor Show in 1950, Citroen presented the utility version, a small van almost identical to what became the definitive version marketed six months later, in March 1951.
The mechanics were the same as those of the saloon and the small van performed its tough task to the limits of its strength. The AU version saw performance improve and demand and delivery times increase. Over time, modifications also affected the engine, without ever drastically altering the original design. In the early 1950s, a 'platform' version was created for coachbuilders, who prepared a series of versions for the most varied load requirements, including this incredible 1954 Pick-Up. The bodywork, apart from small areas of surface rust, is in very good condition. Considering its age, the Pick-Up is in more than satisfactory condition, running and with freshly rebuilt brakes.
