The Appeal
Designed to be the simplest most rugged car money could buy, the 2CV quickly became an icon of rural France and retains a strong following to this day,
This 1986 Citroën 2CV6 Spécial combines the charm of the original "Deux Chevaux" with thoughtful upgrades that enhance both reliability and enjoyment.
Having been purchased by the current owner in 2021 to recapture the nostalgic sensations of their youth (it was their first car), this 2CV has been well-maintained and benefits from several key improvements, including a galvanised chassis, electronic ignition, and a refreshed interior.
