With a Bovag guarantee, this 2cv is sold in 1991 to a lady from Purmerend. She buys it with 59,000 km on the clock from dealer Groenewoud in Schagen. I think the oldest Citroën dealer in the Netherlands, they sold their first Citroën in 1928.

The car gets a service in Castricum at 67,000 km, some “anti-moisture” comes with it, probably because of a starting problem. A little later in the year, dealer Lanting in Zuidoostbeemster will provide a new MOT.

After that, the history stops and also the development in the kilometers, since it is now at a little more than 69,000 km.

In any case, it is certain that became part of a collection in 2009, where we recently found it. All this time, and presumably before that, it has been kept dry indoors. Hence its particularly good condition.

Of course something needed to be done to get it ready for the next ride. We have given attention to the entire technique, replaced tires and exhaust and cleaned it thoroughly.

With result, because it became a fresh, original red 2cv again. The original rectangular headlights still on it, which will certainly come back into fashion. But if you do not want to follow that, round headlights are also easily mounted.
