The charm of the model

The Citroën 2CV AZ, with its small 375 cc flat-twin engine, utilitarian character and ingenious long-travel suspension, remains one of the most iconic European classics ever produced. Early examples are particularly sought after. This one wears Glacier Blue, introduced to the catalogue in June 1960, paired with its original pale blue wheels.

Bought around seven years ago in complete condition but requiring substantial restoration, this 2CV was completely stripped down to return it to a configuration faithful to its original state. Several bodywork panels, notably the floorpan, the rear box section and the front bulkhead, have been replaced. All seals have been redone and the shell repainted in its original colour. The chassis and front and rear running gear have been overhauled and treated with specialist paint, while the mechanicals have been fully rebuilt, with wear items replaced. The interior has been redone using original parts restored where possible. The red seat covers provide a striking contrast with the blue bodywork, even though this colour does not match the original specification.

Since the restoration, the car has covered only 3,545 km, including a return rally from Saint-Étienne to the Pointe du Raz alongside friends driving Renault 4CVs and other period 2CVs, which, to our knowledge, took place without any reported problems.
