By the 1980s, the 2CV had transformed itself from a cheap, utilitarian car into something of a fashion icon. So ingrained in European culture were the 'tin snails' that special editions and two-tone versions were now rolling off the production lines, and the Citroën 2CV Charleston was exactly that - offering the pinnacle of the legendary 'deux chevaux' line, in a distinctive two-tone colour scheme and a slightly less austere interior, while retaining the model's legendary simplicity and innovative, low-cost engineering.
This particular 1985 example has been completely restored to original specifications, restoring its classic grey/black Charleston livery to its former glory. With only 111,000 km on the odometer, this meticulously maintained 2CV is a rare opportunity and will undoubtedly prove to be a very impressive addition to any collection.80.jpg5.96 MB
