We found this 2CV in Millau. It’s lived there its whole life. Built in the summer of ’85, it was delivered to Millau through dealer Monju. The Costes family ordered it in the Club edition, which wasn’t too common in France. Most of the later 2CVs were the more simplistic Spécials – with a Club, you chose luxury.
On May 18th 1971, ms. Maraval ordered her new 2CV. She could already opt for a 2cv6, yet decided to go for the slower 2cv4. Perhaps she already knew she was only going to be using it locally. Possibly the dealer even tried to convince her to opt for the comfort of speed, something he wasn’t a stranger to himself: Ms. Maraval bought the car from Pezous in Albi. The owner, Maurice Emile Pezous, used his initials to name some of his own sporty creations. From a sporty coupé, to monoposto racecars he built with stock mechanical parts.
It is probably because I am from the 1970s myself and I saw them on the streets in these colors and designs in my youth, but I always like the seventies 2cvs the most.
As a Mehari you can be born and raised in Belgium. You grow up, start becoming quite a guy and get more and more curious about what the rest of the world has to offer. Being an adventurer you get drawn south. On tour to France, Spain -and in the end- Ibiza. You have a fun life there.
In ’86 this 2cv found a home with Mrs. de Greve from Duffel, between Antwerp and Mechelen. The car was stored nice and warm and was well cared for.
