Interior recently restored to the original 1979 specification
Rare hard top included alongside a new soft top
Revisione valid until 2027

The Appeal

Often overshadowed by its iconic sibling, the 2CV, the Citroën Dyane is a wonderfully characterful machine in its own right. Offering greater practicality courtesy of its hatchback body, improved ventilation and a more refined driving experience, the Dyane has steadily gained recognition among enthusiasts as a charming and usable classic, and good examples are increasingly hard to find.

This 1979 example presents a compelling opportunity. The bodywork was fully repainted approximately ten years ago and continues to present well, showing only minor imperfections consistent with its age. More recently, the interior has been carefully restored using correct materials to match the original 1979 specification. A thorough recommissioning has been carried out to return the car to the road after an extended period in a private collection. The vendor states that it is mechanically in very good order and ready to be driven and enjoyed.
