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...
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...
Of the 1213 cars built, this is No. 3. It first came on the road in Paris, where it was deployed for the press introduction. After this, Citroën made it available to Medecin sans Frontières, for a documentary about their work in Africa. The oldest Mehari 4×4 on the road. Citroën introduced the...
In 1955, the Belgian Citroën factory introduced a new model, the AZUL. A Luxury AZU, now also suitable for taking passengers in the back. To this end, a removable seat was placed and a recess in the loading floor for foot space. A large side window was installed to give passengers more visibility...
If you started your life in modest white and are making a new start, why not make your presence a bit more brilliant. So we opted for the seventies color Jaune Mimosa with a matching roof and an orange fabric interior. The cheerfulness radiates from this completely new 2cv. This 2cv started its...
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...
Around 2000, a Dutch enthusiast stumbled across an advertisement in La Vie de l’Auto, in which someone offered a new 2CV for sale. It turned out to be not one, but more than ten. We have to ask the finder again about the reason for putting away so many new cars; were they...
You will find beautiful things on the Gold Coast. In this cas the Côte d’Or department and an Ami 8 from ’71, in a beige shade with depth. Logical, if the color – translated – is Ash Beige. An intriguing type of wood with beautiful flame markings. These markings, with a nice contrast,...
After Franco’s death in ’75, Spain relaxed considerably and there was apparently also some room for cheerfulness, judging by the forget-me-not blue on this Citroën 8? “Sorry, it’s an Ami 8, right?” Yes, for us, but in Spain they did things a little differently. Several details of the earlier French models were extended...
Serge Gevin was hired by Citroën to cheer up 2CVs. Often the sales figures had to be boosted and promotional models worked wonders. It started in ’76 with the SPOT, in orange and white. Then a dark blue Dyane got some white lines and was called Caban. In 1985, after a lot of...
It is the late summer of 1969 and the entire European motoring press has gathered to drive the Citroën M35 in Paris. An exclusive prototype with Wankel engine, the engine technology that seems to have a great future. For the test, 6 M35s were hand-built in a preliminary series. All in Gris Nacré...
Every collection has a start. Mine – and eventually my garage – started with a ’82 2cv6 Spécial Bleu Lagune. I bought it in ’92 and still have it. This 2cv was bought in the early 1970s by a collector-to-be in the Netherlands. He drove it, loved it and became seriously Citrophile. This...
The baroque line of the Ami 6 did not appeal to everyone in the 1960s, but its unique rear window (Berline) and its space (Break) made it a sales success. With the simplicity of the 2CV and the luxury of the DS, the Ami was a nice mix of them. This Break saw...
The service from Van Gompel from Eindhoven was lightning fast. They started as a Citroën specialist in the 1970s. In order to be able to quickly respond to customers in need of help, they had this Dyane 6 as their first service vehicle. It was equipped with a 4-cylinder boxer from the GS...
Vans were used throughout Europe and were built in various Citroën factories. This often responded to local needs; a bit higher, longer, or suitable for passengers, with larger windows. Like this AZU that was built in 1966 in the Spanish factory in Vigo. Local parts were used, such as the lighting fixtures. It...
A 2v in black, a sought-after color. We found most of them in Belgium, but never saw them in Germany and France. Here in the Netherlands they were only delivered sparingly, most of them in ’87. This is an early one, registered on January 17, ’86, but built on November 7, ’85. In...
After two decades of 375 and 425 cc, the 2CV4 came onto the market in ’70 with 435cc. Not a big difference in cc’s, and only 3 hp more, but the character of the engine was different; it could rev more, even to the point of a turbine-like howl. The 2CV6, introduced shortly...
Rouge de Rio, already sounds like a festival! We felt the same way when we found this 2cv4, because models from the 1970s are difficult to find. A ripple bonnet is easier to find. It mainly stayed in Oostvoorne. Six months old, it was bought by a lady who used it for commuting....
We have already had many unique 2cvs through our hands. With beautiful stories, special models or from a faraway country. With almost no kilometers on them, from the last day of French or Portuguese production, or from the very first year of construction. This 2cv brings together 3 unique qualities. It has only...
One of those luxurious 2cvs, in red and black, please; someone thought in ’87 and ordered this Charleston. Later in its life this wish was expressed several more times, since its import in Holland in 2006 it had two more owners. It was restored and repainted back then. A galvanised chassis was added...
We often hunt for new, newer, newest and exceptional cars. But just as often we have fun coming across a nice, appealing car. Like this Dyane. It was offered to us by a nice man in Spain, who sold it for the first owners. The Dyane immediately looked at us in the photos,...
From June 6, 1974, Madeleine proudly drove around in her Beige Vanneau Ami 8 Berline. She bought it new and didn’t let it go until 2007. Who owns a car for 33 years these days! For maintenance she drove from one date to another: she lived on rue du 8 mai 1945 and...
With 8 million units, the R4 has beaten the 2CV in production numbers. They have also competed with each other in other areas since 1961, where the medals are divided between both camps. Anyway, we like the R4 too! In the Netherlands, deliveries stopped in ’86. Delivery and production continued in various other...
Before the war, Citroën developed a revolutionary car, with a self-supporting body and front-wheel drive, which was soon popularly called the Traction Avant. Over time there were various models, from 7CV to 15CV, in 4 and 6 cylinders. Even an 8-cylinder was developed at some point, the 22CV, which never came onto the...
A Charleston, the chic 2CV, shining in Rouge Delage et Noir, with chrome headlights and the several shiny details. It appealed to a completely different audience than before and gained its own fan base. But everything of value and beauty is defenseless, even to corrosion. This Charleston started its career in ’82. Later...
With the Charleston, Citroën brought a bit of chic to the 2cv. Not everyone was charmed by it, but this was also met with, after red/black and grey/dark grey, a very colorful version in yellow/black. In the Netherlands it was not a sales success at the time, only 27 were delivered via the...
In 1974 it started spinning its wheels in the Var department in Provence. A good start for a long, rust-free life. On the copy of the Carte Grise we can read that it has changed hands a number of times, all owners living in the Var. In 2013 the Ami moved to the...
We’ve never had a Dauphine before, and it surprised us with how much fun it is driving it (and how cute it looks!). It was bought in France in 2000 by enthusiasts we know and then regularly ridden and well maintained. In 1961 it was delivered in the Loiret department. Monsieur regularly drove...
This van started life in France, identifying as beige. Probably to distinguish itself a little more, it later turned red. In 2020 it was registered in the Netherlands and made technically ready for regular use. Unfortunately, no more is known about its history, so we will stick to a summary of the recent...
Around the war, the French brand Chenard et Walcker developed a commercial vehicle with front-wheel drive. Quite revolutionary, because it made the loading floor much lower. The CPV came on the market in 1946, earlier than the Citroën H(Y) which came on the market in 1948, but later than the pre-war Citroën TUB,...
