In 1978 the Acadiane succeeded the AK 400. The cargo area was the same size, only the cabin was more spacious at the front, creating more space for the driver and passenger. With the Ak 400, if you were a bit taller, you were fairly close to the steering wheel, now you could...
Sometimes you are satisfied with the color of a 2cv, but sometimes you’re not or only partially. One of the previous owners liked this white 2cv, which we had for sale at the time. But it had more potential. “Let’s make it a happy Dolly replica!”. His will be done, we sprayed a...
In León, Spain, this Dyane has been driving around the church since November 73. It will not have been much further, it only drove 35,000 km in almost 50 years. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that the car was modified and approved to operate the gas, brake and clutch...
This 2cv was built in Vigo, Spain. The Spanish 2cvs differ from the French in a few details. For example, the headlight frames and often parts of the chassis are painted in color, parts from other suppliers are used and the type designation is different. As with this 2cv6 CT, Confort. It is...
Yvan was a farmer in department Bouche-du-Rhône. In the middle of a wine region, on the banks of the Durance, he grew vegetables, melons and carrots. According to the commercial register in the Provence. He bought this HY Plateau with a high hood and the small 1600cc engine in 1970. This one was...
An appreciated French icon, although not a Citroën; the R4. We like them, we find them occasionally and usually they come from far. We found this R4 a few years ago in Serbia. It had already been given new paint there, on a good original basis. The color name, Shetland, immediately paints a...
In 2003 this 2cv6 Spécial came to our country, from Germany. Quite unusual, because mainly the more luxurious Club was sold there. At the time, it had only driven 33,000 km and had a whole life ahead of it. The owners enjoyed it, but not in great mileage. In the past 19 years,...
A 2cv radiates a kind of friendliness. Its round shapes, headlights for eyes and quirky sounding engine. Like this one, in its cheerful red color; it just smiles at you! And judging by its license plate, it appreciates that you glanced at it… In Holland you don’t often come across license plates that...
After a number of predecessors, this white 2cv was ordered and delivered in ’85. It was driven with pleasure for years, she stayed with a relative for a few years and then returned to the nest. In 2015, it was decided to renew the wedding vows with the car and put her on...
Je hoeft je vakantie helemaal niet gestresst te beginnen, in lange rijen op Schiphol, in je hotel aankomen zonder koffers. Je kunt ook gewoon lekker dit eendje kopen, het dakje oprollen, je (kampeer)spullen achterin gooien en Nederland of buurlanden gaan verkennen! Dit eendje (of een van de andere uit ons aanbod) is er...
Dit eendje vonden we recent in een garagebox dichtbij. Op zo’n plek waar je al tientallen jaren langs rijdt, zonder te weten wat er stilletjes stof staat te vergaren. Hij is van ’60, in België gebouwd, vlakbij Rotterdam door Luveto geleverd en daarna door iemand uit Wormerveer bereden. Van de familie begrepen we...
In the 1970s, almost all 2cv’s were brightly colored, remember. Shiny orange, bright yellow or grass green. Cool! In the eighties the German and English importers thought; let’s do it again! So a number of action models in Vert Bambou were introduced, such as the Sauss Ente, the Ente Grün and the English Bamboo....
This 2cv was delivered new in Belgium and came to the Netherlands in 91. Since then it has had only 1 owner here and he has taken good care of it. In the course of time, some panels have been provided with new paint, but that does not spoil the fun for us;...
In many countries the 2cv and Dyane were sold in about the same amounts. Not in the Netherlands, where the preference was really for the 2cv. Only in ‘69 more Dyanes were sold, 15 units to be exact. In the eighties, interest in the Dyane completely dropped, so the curtain fell in June...
After the start of production of the Dyane, the intended successor to the 2cv, soon a need for more speed developed. In ’68 the Dyane D6 was launched, which used the 602cc engine from the Ami 6. A few months later a newer version of the 602cc engine became available, one that liked...
In 1967 it finally came on the market, the long-awaited successor to the 2cv. Her name was Dyane, it was technically similar to the 2cv, but had more austere lines. The larger tailgate offered some competition to the Renault 4, the higher windscreen gave more visibility to the increasingly taller person. The first...
This AZAM6 was found in Liège in the 1990s. Even at that time quite a rare appearance. It was kidnapped and restored to the Netherlands. We don’t know exactly in what condition it was, but at least it got new floorboards and some other parts. It drove in the east of Holland for...
Found in the Lot department, in the town of Figeac. In 2004 it got a Control Technique, since 2005 it has been standing still. It’s a fun project. With some work on the outside and also some welding on the bottom. The (petrol) engine is not seized, all technical components will need attention....
This HY was brought from France a few years ago. It came from the vicinity of Clermont-Ferrand and had been standing still for some time. It’s a fun project. With some work on the outside and also some welding on the bottom. The engine is not seized, all technical components will need attention....
In ’61 the Ami 6 was introduced, as a model between the 2cv and DS. Also aiming at a growing target group, the ladies. Apparently Citroën not only saw a bright future for the car in Europe, but also in the USA. A model was developed especially for that market, including a specific...
This H-van came on the road in ’71 and has been driven around in the Vaucluse. A wonderfully warm and dry region, with a lot of viticulture. Judging by a sticker on the back, it was technically inspected in the village of Isle sur Sorgue, his home must have been near. In its...
This 6-cylinder Traction was delivered new near Angers and sold in 69 to a gentleman in Montrelais, a little further to the west. He used her a lot and for the purpose this queen of the road was designed for; to travel. Italy, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Turkey and Romania were visited. We have correspondence...
Citroën often was quite poetic with its paint colour names. They even managed to give gray a deeper layer, like with this Gris Temps Perdu. How do you explain that, gray from a bygone age? And is that beautiful? We think this color looks particularly good on the Ami. Or should we translate...
In the 1950s and 1960s 2cvs for the Benelux were made in the Belgian city of Forest. These models, sometimes adapted to local requirements, were also sold in other European countries and the US. These markets were apparently slightly more demanding than the French, as there was a wider choice of models and...
Sometimes one has to look in other than usual places to find cars. Like this Ami 6, which we found in Serbia a few years ago. We bought it in Novi Sad from the second owner. It was in generally good shape. Some dents and worn paint all around. A solid project to...
It once started life as an extended bus, built by SAPA. This company supplied all – sometimes extreme – extended and raised HY models. After a working life with transport in the cargo area, it was converted into a car transporter with space on a sloping deck. With its extra long chassis, it...
Lots of volume, little weight. That’s what this HY is suitable for. It was bought in 1972 by the Societé Gestion d’hôtels et restaurants on Avenue Malakoff in Paris. Presumably to transport laundry or to provide hotels and restaurants with other materials. They must have been quite nice places, the company was not...
In ’65, Citroën dealer Pezous from Albi develops a small racing car based on readily available technology from the brand it represents. The MEP X1 is born, Maurice Emile’s initials form the name. The first model uses the 25 hp engine and gearbox from the Ami 6. The body was designed by Albert...
A dandy is someone, usually a man, who pays a lot of attention to his appearance and presentation. Dandyism started as a form of resistance against the French Revolutions around 1790. A criterion for dandyism is the ability to put one’s own self into perspective, which distinguishes it from snobbery. A nice definition....
Citroën supplied the HYs in the standard versions, but one could also order all kinds of special models via the dealer. For example, SAPA built the extended and raised versions, Heuliez made all kinds of livestock transporters and Currus designed a multitude of models and conversions. From market trucks to ambulances and vans...
Many northerners go to Spain to enjoy their pension. Dyane turned it around and left Ibiza for the Netherlands. Perhaps it’s better to conclude that this lady is far from her retirement! Or maybe a very active one. She was prepared for a happy life here by an enthusiast in this little country....
