First introduced in 1948. The deux chevaux(-vapeur) - or ‘two steam horsepower’ - is one of the most iconic classics in history. Otherwise known by such quirky nicknames as the ‘tin snail’, there were over 9 million of the 2CV built, all in the same generation - with only minor updates and upgrades along the way. Frill-free, chattering motoring with a remarkably clever long-travel suspension - it was a winning formula.
This example has had its chassis galvanised and has been restored by the current owner. It carries a very unique Harlequin colour scheme that’s sure to make it the perfect motor for the self-pronounced eccentric. dIVOB8urH5jp4mQsqCQtnIDXR0jmnfaT3Ea913mz.jpg550.54 KB
