The Citroën 2CV6 Special is the final chapter in the story of one of motoring’s most long-lasting and loveable models. The “6” badge refers to the version fitted with the range’s most powerful engine, bringing more relaxed pace while still retaining all of the 2CV’s legendary charm and simple character that made it famous.
This 1983 example was bought by its current owner in 2020, with the desire to get back the feelings delivered by their very first car — proof of the lasting impression these little Citroëns leave on everyone who has driven them. It still wears its white bodywork and original paint, with an authenticity that’s increasingly rare on the market. Mechanically, it benefits from electronic ignition and new tyres fitted in 2024. The seller says the car runs very well and is mechanically sound — a great opportunity to acquire a carefully maintained, emblematic “people’s car” Citroën, in excellent order.IMG_3710 HERVE Gregory.jpeg3.52 MB

This sale is subject to Car & Classic’s general terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, meaning that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s general terms and conditions.
✓ We require that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and general terms and conditions for the specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “sold as seen”, on a “take it or leave it, where it is” basis and with no warranty. The photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it’s standard practice to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the purchaser’s deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or submission price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just like you do, and that’s why UK-registered cars and motorcycles listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to confirm they have no core insurance database markers for damage or theft, and that they’re not subject to a financial charge/lien, so you can bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off following a total loss claim at the time the listing is posted on Car & Classic, and we provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it’s always useful to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer.
✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may involve additional customs duties and import taxes. If you’d like, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can help. For more details and to speak with the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
