In 1987, the news came that the delivery of new 2CVs in the Netherlands would stop. There was a final sprint, because a lot of 2CV drivers quickly ordered a new one. One of them was a family from Boxtel. They bought a red 2CV6 Club from dealer Janus van der Meulen from his stock, for just over 10,000 guilders. Their old blue 2CV6 Spécial from ’82 was traded in for 1,500.
Lovely cheerful and fresh blue, this 2CV in Bleu Lagune. Since 2009 it has brightened up the Dutch landscape. Before that it toured around Tours in Central France.
This Citroën Dyane D6, in the beautiful colour Bleu Crystal, rolled off the production line at the Citroën factory in Rennes on 13 February 1968. Originally sold in the Marne Valley, to a gentleman in Noyant-Villages – between Le Mans and Saumur. It has always remained in the same region.
More than 15 years ago, one of our customers drove a pink 2CV, but her dogs didn't really fit in it; could we do something about it? Of course we could; we chose a van, of course in her favorite colour.
In 2018, we got this Acadiane from France, via an appreciated colleague. In the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, it drove its laps, around the town of Cambo les Bains, a few kilometers from the Spanish border. The floor and footwell were no longer optimal, so were replaced. The rest was in used, but solid condition.
Nice 2CV, good driving, recent APK, some small things to improve. Price for the car as it is.
Absinthe, a very special shade. For some it tends towards yellow, for others (and Citroën) it is green. The drink with the same name also had an ambivalent reputation. For model years '61 and '62, the colour was used on the DS. The Ami was the little sister and was also allowed to wear her dress in the same style.
In classic French commercial vehicles, the name of the owner can often be found on the back of the car. In this case, it is M. Bappes from Rabastens, in the Tarn department, between Toulouse and Albi. His profession was plâtrier, a plasterer. One can use such a spacious bus for that. He did take an HZ, the version with less payload. Apparently he had more volume than mass to move.
This Dyane was bought in Padua in ’18 and then driven around a holiday home on Mallorca. On the island it was repainted and fitted with a new interior.
We traded in this 2CV4 on an even nicer 2CV. It has already been worked on in Luxembourg, new paint, bodywork repaired. Solid, not very pretty. It needs further technical attention; brakes, maintenance, etc. It does run and brakes a bit. Oh yes, and the chassis needs replacing…
The Costes family from Millau, in the South of France ordered this 2CV in ’85. It was delivered with a 5th door frame to be able to lift in the shopping bags easier. The ride to the shops was probably also its longest trip because in 2004 it had only driven 25,000 km and a few years ago we bought it with less than 42,000 km on the counter.
In June 1959, this 2CV made its maiden trip. In grey, because that was the standard colour at the time. After the summer, they became available in Bleu Glacier, the first real colour on the French 2CVs. Did the owner of this car get annoyed at that time? Would he have preferred a blue one too and did he have it sprayed blue on the exterior?
