The Appeal

The 2CV is an endearing classic car for the masses, offering iconic design and a wonderfully characterful history with genuine usability, a vast aftermarket support network for those looking to get their hands dirty working on and maintaining their cars, and a wide-reaching net of enthusiasts that are willing to share their time and knowledge in the pursuit of preserving these chic French classics for generations to come.

This particular example is a 1986 2CV6 Dolly, which has been cherished in the care of the current owner - a serial 2CV enthusiast, whose daily driver is a 2CV6, in which he covers ~15,000 miles a year - and has been restored to an exacting standard by renowned marque specialist Rick Pembro.

A fantastic example of the much-loved 2CV, and one which is ready to just jump in and enjoy!
