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.

Sometimes you only know the beginning and the end. Let's start in Hengelo, where on October 12, 1987, the 05-RU-94 was traded in for 1683.33 guilders for a new 2CV6 Club in Gris Cormoran. A set of floor mats, 30 guilders of fuel, and heated windows cost an additional 11,300 guilders.
At December 29th ’75 this 2cv saw its first light, Januari 7th it was delivered and February 17th it took off on the road. These roads were mostly situated around Plouha, French Brittany. It was the service van of College d’Enseignement Secondaire Nationalisé Mixte.
Sometimes you even come across them here in the Netherlands, nice, honest 2CVs with not too many kilometers. Like this red one, with period-correct red plaids over the seats. You'll feel right at home in it.
What a lovely color! It's like being transported back to the seventies. It's so cool that Renault is using a similar colour on the new R5. You used to see a lot of these cheerful ones, but these kinds of colours have become rare, especially on a Dyane.
The owner once bought this 2CV from his neighbour in France. Before that, it had belonged to the neighbours sister. Over time, it underwent some minor work, and in 2020, it officially became a Dutch citizen.
