The Appeal
Citroën revolutionised the post-war French auto industry with the 2CV, and in 1954, introduced the AZU - a panel van variant ideal for rural France. This 1960 example is in particularly good order, having been thoughtfully restored in the early 2000s.
The vendor tells us that the restoration struck a balance between preservation and renewal. As such, some patina was kept in order to maintain the van's originality, while essential interventions were made to ensure it's in very good usable order, and likely to last for a very long time. to come.
The van has been kept indoors and used sparingly since its restoration, making it a wonderful proposition for collectors of classic French commercials.
