The Citroen 2CV6 Dolly is a true icon of French automotive design, known for its simplicity, reliability, and unique charm. Often credited with getting Europe on the road post World War 2, these lightweight, innovative cars are still iconic - rightfully so, having spent over forty years in production.
This particular 1987 model has been well maintained, with a refurbishment in 2022 that included a full exterior repaint in the iconic "Dolly" red and white scheme. The interior remains mostly original, and still offers that same, austere charm that has come to signify one of France's most iconic cars. Backed by a brand new MOT under its belt, we've little doubt this 2CV will impress its lucky new owner.
