In ’57, the 2CV in France was still delivered with the long roof, you rolled up the rear part to get to the trunk. At the end of ’57, the body was modified slightly to also be able to mount a metal trunk lid, which could be ordered from the factory as the AZLP, with Porte de Malle.
Just in from Belgium, from grandson of first owner. Needs some TLC. More info will follow.
In 1987, the news came that the delivery of new 2CVs in the Netherlands would stop. There was a final sprint, because a lot of 2CV drivers quickly ordered a new one. One of them was a family from Boxtel. They bought a red 2CV6 Club from dealer Janus van der Meulen from his stock, for just over 10,000 guilders. Their old blue 2CV6 Spécial from ’82 was traded in for 1,500.
Beige Opale. It gives a velvety, matte finish without feeling powdery, and excellent coverage that still feels natural. It sounds like an advertisement text for a Lancôme foundation, and it is. But anyway, this colour also gives a golden glow to the beautiful lines of the Dyane in 1978.
Lovely cheerful and fresh blue, this 2CV in Bleu Lagune. Since 2009 it has brightened up the Dutch landscape. Before that it toured around Tours in Central France.
New paint, a new galvanized chassis, the bodywork has been restored, it drives great and… it is a Charleston! What more could you hope for.
In ’69 it became clear that the 2cv AZ would be replaced by the 2cv4 and 2cv6. Perhaps to keep them attractive, a new colour was introduced - Paille Brûlée - literally translated as Burnt Straw. I am curious to see what the colour designer’s mood board looked like when choosing this colour.
You take a Mehari out of the forest in Twente and then sell and restore it. But you carefully hang the original, beautifully weathered plastic in the attic. Later you buy another Mehari and make it technically and constructively perfect. When choosing a suitable dress you think of the beautiful green one that is still hanging in the attic. And it looks great!
This Ami 8’s career began in September ’75 in the Oise department, in Northern France, just above Paris. The maintenance sticker collection under the bonnet shows that it was regularly serviced, each time with fairly small intervals in terms of kilometres. In ’95 35.072, in ’05 41.207km and now 44.170km. Just run in!
