The Appeal

The Citroën Acadiane is the versatile van derivative of the beloved Dyane, bringing together the air-cooled simplicity and character of Citroën's 2CV family with genuine load-carrying practicality. Increasingly sought after, these quirky French utility vehicles are becoming ever harder to find in well-maintained condition.

This 1982 example wears its original Beige Colorado livery, refreshed in 2023, and presents smartly with only minor finishing defects noted by the vendor. It has been in the current owner's hands since 2020, having been acquired from a retiree who used it for fishing trips, and has been stored throughout in a dry, sheltered environment. The interior has been renewed with brand new upholstery, seat foam and elastic straps, while mechanically a service has been carried out covering brake fluid, gearbox oil, engine oil, and both oil and air filters.

All four tyres are new, and a fresh Contrôle technique will be provided for the sale. The vendor states it is very pleasant to drive: smooth, comfortable and quiet with no abnormal noises. Registered on a Carte Grise de Collection with matching serial numbers, this Acadiane is a great example of the model, the likes of which seldom come to market,
