Mrs. de Block from Oostende decided in 1990 that she really wanted a new goat *. Perhaps the end of production in July of that year played a role in this. The goat that would become hers was built in Portugal on March 12 and registered in Belgium on April 2. On October 17, dealer Jacobs Provoost delivered it to her.

In Belgium, almost only Spécials and special models were sold in recent years, you rarely saw clubs there. This Spécial – the simple model with the round headlights, front seat, exclusive roof and simple finish – has one different detail, a one-spoke steering wheel from the Club version.

When it was found in Belgium it was already there. It is most likely that it was delivered new with the car, perhaps Ms thought it was nicer in the hand. Perhaps it was more exciting, though, with the original being eaten by a dog or stolen by a handlebar fetishist in the 90s.

The kilometers did not really add quickly after that. In July 1991 the car was serviced for the first time at 1,845 km. The next recorded service was at 2,493 km in September 1995. Then it went silent in the maintenance book. We do know that it ended up with a family member who did not really drive it, only every now and then for a stroll after cleaning.

In 2003 the goat became a duck *. It was found by a Dutchman with a great love for the 2cv and other Citroëns. Because he always used 2cvs practically and allowed this specimen an undamaged future, he passed it on to a friend with a collection of classics. There it was also used sporadically, sometimes for a round with friends in all the classics he had present.

With that, the counter eventually came to a little over 6000km. Due to circumstances, the 2cv ended up with the previous Dutch owner, who decided to keep it for the future, neatly stored in the basement in an inflatable Carcoon.

It was recently decided that the priority in his car ownership really lies with the larger Citroëns and the (very) old ducks. And we got the chance to find a new owner for it.

It is really in the same condition as when it rolled out of the showroom and it drives like that as well. Although museum-worthy, it would also be nice if his active life would start. Who is going to decide on his fate?

* in Belgium a 2cv is called a geit (goat), in Holland an eend (duck).
