While driving out of the showroom, near Zurich, you think: “out into the wide world! We will go up the mountains, into the avenues, see some of Europe or at least Switzerland.” But 7 years later you have only driven 626 km and you start to worry… In the next 20 years, just…
We are selling this Sahara for one of our clients. He bought it a long time ago, in ’87. It was already beige then, as the photos from back then show, and it also had its sturdy front bumper. It remained in his shed for decades, until he put it back on the…
A 2CV that looks like it just came out of a barn. A barn where it was placed by grandpa Jean-Pierre in the seventies. The car was part of the family and – although defective – was allowed to stay, in a corner, under the hay. Waiting for something. Later. Someday. A 2CV…
Whiter than white, radiant, like a swan. Although the 2CV was Citroën’s ugly duckling according to a journalist, where they otherwise only designed swans, Citroën dared to deliver the duckling in swan white in 1970. It suits it well, especially with the red, contrasting interior. The roof of course in the colour of…
All the things one can do with this car! Camping, turning it into a market stall, a suitable means of transport for your … (fill in your hobby, company, etc.). You could also transport horses with it, judging by the text on the back, but I wouldn’t recommend it. In any case, in…
After a period of development and testing, the 2CV 4×4 Sahara was launched in 1960. Born from the idea that cooperation takes you further, 2 drive lines were built in, each driving an axle. This resulted in a four-wheel drive 2CV with a fairly simple design. With 1 gear lever, 1 accelerator pedal…
The 2CV with its simple bodywork on an inventive suspension chassis asked for it; a delivery version. With an eye on the HY bus, a simple box was placed on the back of a normal 2CV with the same ribbed panels and wheel arches that housed the tank and the spare wheel. The…
On the dashboard shelf we found a Shell Car Costs Agenda, with some interesting information about a part of the history of this 2CV. In May ’87 it was bought with 69,000 km on the counter. It got new brakes and was serviced. A few kilometers were driven around the block, but then…
We found this AZU in a barn in France. Unfortunately, there was no Carte Grise or other history with it. So we requested a building certificate from Citroën and looked at details in and on the car. And then you often get quite far in reconstructing its past. The certificate confirmed it was…
In 2018, we got this Acadiane from France, via an appreciated colleague. In the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, it drove its laps, around the town of Cambo les Bains, a few kilometers from the Spanish border. The floor and footwell were no longer optimal, so were replaced. The rest was in used, but solid condition.…
In 2019, this Acadiane was found in Burgundy, near the town of Paray-le-Monial. Apart from the fact that it had just under 51,000 km on the clock at the time, we know nothing about its previous history. It does have a big advantage for an Acadiane; for once, it is not beige or…
Absinthe, a very special shade. For some it tends towards yellow, for others (and Citroën) it is green. The drink with the same name also had an ambivalent reputation. For model years ’61 and ’62, the colour was used on the DS. The Ami was the little sister and was also allowed to…
This Charleston has lived all over Europe, but has not driven many kilometers. It started in Heilbronn and later moved to Bavaria. The German owner took it to the Provence, probably to his holiday home. There it was serviced by the local garage in 2010. The counter was at about 30,000 km. In…
At December 29th ’75 this 2cv saw its first light, Januari 7th it was delivered and February 17th it took off on the road. These roads were mostly situated around Plouha, French Brittany. It was the service van of College d’Enseignement Secondaire Nationalisé Mixte. The concierge, mister Guillochet, and his colleagues drove it…
We bought it from a family who had owned it for 28 years. It had been in storage for the last 10 years, and it hadn’t really gotten any better. We picked it up and then stored it in our warehouse. But now we’ve made some time for it. The chassis has been…
The Costes family from Millau, in the South of France ordered this 2CV in ’85. It was delivered with a 5th door frame to be able to lift in the shopping bags easier. The ride to the shops was probably also its longest trip because in 2004 it had only driven 25,000 km…
A somewhat older restoration, where the drivetrain has also been modernised. This beautiful van with ripple bonnet drives very smoothly and easily, but has still retained its classic character. In 1993 the French tax was still paid, in 1996 it was registered in the Netherlands. Somewhere in between it was probably abducted from…
When I was a kid, several uncles and aunts drove DSs. Usually third nose. I was amazed by those fish bowls with lights in them and thought it was great that they would rise after starting. My father’s Skoda 110 R Coupé didn’t do that. The seats weren’t as soft in those either…
On 18 May ’71, Mrs Maraval ordered her new 2CV from dealer Pezous in Albi. At that time, she had the choice between a 2CV4 and 2CV6, she chose the slower 2CV4, probably because she already knew that she would only use it locally. Mrs Maraval was handed the keys on 18 August,…
Of the 2-cylinder models from the 1970s, the Ami 8 in the Club version was the most luxurious. We already converted the basic 2cv and Dyane to electric, now we went for casual chic. Slightly more car than a 2cv, great suspension, clear lines, seventies stylish. We chose a very well-preserved specimen from…
In January ’22 we found this 2CV on the internet, Marc offered it as a particularly good example with only 52,000 km on the clock. My wife and I got in the car and made a trip to Ghent. Marc proudly told me what he had improved on the goat (Flemish for 2CV),…
On June 6, 1968, this 2CV rolled out of the showroom. Unaware of the fact that Bobby Kennedy was murdered that day, 8 months after Che Guevara and 8 weeks before Martin Luther King. To give you an idea of the era. Judging the stamp on the back of the registration certificate, it changed…
Vans usually had a hard life because they were mostly used for commercial purposes and often had to miss loving ownership and maintenance. However, there are quite a few survivors who have fought bravely, or have been cherished. Like this Acadiane. It started its life in France. In 2014 it came to the…
Garage van Oord from Maarssen delivered this 2CV in ’86. It was used daily, but was always kept indoors. In ’91 the odometer already had just over 70,000 km on it. When it was 10 years old, in ’96, it was handed over to the son. Shortly afterwards the meter went round for…
The first 2CVs were quite versatile. The AU was even more utilitarian, it came onto the market in 1951. A commercial vehicle based on the 2CV, with 250kg of payload and a square box on the back to transport your every need. It became a great sales success. The 9hp of the AU…
Citroën dealer Grobe from Dormagen delivered this Dolly to a lady from the same municipality, near the Rhine and Düsseldorf, on October 18, 1987. The lady was looking for covered transport, somewhat more luxurious than the bicycle she used until then for herself and her baby. A 2CV fit the bill perfectly. The…
This AK 350 was delivered to Bleu Nevé in Paris in mid ’67, the painted license plate still bears witness to it. The windshield also shows that in ’87 and ’88 taxes were still paid in Paris, but in ’89 in the Nièvre department, a little further south. We also understand from Citroën…
Zo vind je er geen, zo heb je er drie in je garage staan. Originele Nederlands geleverde ribbelkapjes, heb ik het dan over. Dit keer een erg leuk geel exemplaar – Jaune Panama – in fijn doorleefde conditie. Met een prima origineel chassis, een in- en exterieur met levenservaring en netjes onderhouden techniek.…
Considerations of a soon-to-be ex-owner; This blue lady should not be here… No, she’s supposed to be driving! That is also the reason why this beautiful Dyane is offered. The current driver, with a lot of Citroën love and history, does not make enough meters with it and is therefore doing her a…
Imagine storing a daily car, let’s say a Citroën C3 from 2013, in the shed. For later. There is a good chance that few people understand you. Yet this was done very often decades ago. Like with this Dyane. In ’81 it had already had two owners in Terneuzen, the latter decided to…
In the spring of ’61, Citroën introduced a new model between the popular 2CV and DS, the Ami 6. With the growing economy and emancipation, Citroën increasingly focused on female customers. The Ami 6 was promoted as a friend of the French ladies, with a specific “Pour Vous Madame” campaign. The brochure could…
The HY could be ordered from Citroën in a number of different forms. The closed bus, which could then be extended, raised or otherwise converted by various carrossiers. The chassis cab as a basis for even more explicit expression. And the pickup, which was also often extended or covered. This is one with…
The Boullier company from Laval built this HY horse van in ’65. Citroën supplied the chassis cab, a basis on which many coachbuilders developed their skills. Theault and Heuliez also built cattle and horse vans in various forms. This model was intended for smaller horses, the length and height are aimed at this.…
The Champs de Mars factory branch in Paris arranged cars for foreign customers and other special deliveries. This also applies to this 2CV, a 2CV6 Spécial in Blanc Meije, with a more luxurious Club interior. It was registered on October 11, 1990, a few months after the end of production in Portugal. Its…
We build our 2CVE on our EV chassis. A galvanised frame, containing the batteries. This gives it a nice low center of gravity, the extra weight presses it a little more into the springs providing more comfort. The electric motor has sufficient power and revs to allow you to drive smoothly and quick…
A blessing in disguise? This 2cvs life has been on pause for quite a while. It was born on April 26, 1990, on May 30 it was in Brussels at the Belgian importer and on August 24 it found an owner in Mechelen. A while later things went wrong. This goat, its Flemish…
