2cv AZ
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 owners again on December 21, 1973, in Waddinxveen.
Sometimes you have to work with very small hints about a car’s past. Of course, we know that it was built in Vorst, in the Belgian Citroën factory, just like all 2CVs for the Benelux in that period. The colour – Bleu Weekend – is also specific to these models and was not used in France.
We have a trace of the last 3 owners. The person before that restored the 2CV somewhere in the late 1990s/early 2000s. In doing so, the necessary panels were renewed, a lot of technical work was done and the car was given a new coat of paint.
Since its last MOT in 2019, it has driven about 4000km, less than its trend of an average of over 2300km per year.
Although it is not the quickest model in Citroën’s history, it drives smoothly and reliably. With that speed, you have more time to enjoy the nice details that these cars have over the later models.
Feel free to come and see them during a test sitting and/or driving session.
