The appeal
Among the most recognisable and likeable cars ever produced, the 2CV4—internally designated “AZA2”—with its air-cooled 435 cm³ flat-twin, captures the model in its most expressive form. Finding a well-restored example with a solid history is becoming an increasingly enticing prospect.
This 1972 left-hand-drive 2CV4 has been with its current owner since 2017 and was entrusted to Garage Delporte, an approved Citroën repairer in Berles-au-Bois in northern France, for a thorough restoration. The work, completed in February 2024, includes a new floorpan, an engine rebuild, reconditioning of the front and rear suspension arms, a new bright red-and-white two-tone respray, fully refurbished upholstery and a new white soft top hood. Original dashboard components—particularly the steering wheel, the fascia and the buttons—have been retained. The seller describes the car as a little marvel, and it has been used regularly in good weather since the end of the work.

BEFORE YOU BUY
This sale is subject to Car & Classic’s general terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also accept the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, meaning that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s general terms and conditions.
✓ We ask that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and general terms and conditions for the specific fees.
✓ This vehicle is sold “as is”, on a “take it as you find it” basis and with no warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only and it is standard practice to carry out a thorough vehicle inspection before purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer’s deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final price of your bid/offer, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just like you do, and that is why UK-registered cars and motorcycles listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to confirm they show no basic database indicators relating to insurance damage or theft, and that they are not subject to a financial charge, enabling you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off following a total loss claim at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and provide category write-off labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. The presence or absence of a label, however, does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always useful to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer.
✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Vehicle importation can involve additional customs duties and import taxes. If you’d like, we can recommend a third-party transport company to help. For more details and to speak to the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
