The seller offers for sale this 1983 Citroën Burton, powered by a 602cc two-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This is kit car number 684, built and owned from new by a single private owner. The build was completed in 2007 using a 1983 Citroën 2CV as the donor vehicle, with its chassis forming the foundation. The body is constructed from polyester with a gelcoat finish, painted in cream white. The interior is trimmed in blue leather, both seats are adjustable, and the car is fitted with LED lighting throughout the cabin, dashboard, and exterior signalling. The steering wheel is removable. The car comes with both a soft top and a tonneau cover. A handmade build book documenting the full construction process, including technical specifications, is included with the sale.
The Burton is a Dutch-designed kit car concept based on the Citroën 2CV platform, inspired by 1930s and 1940s sports car styling. The name “Burton” and its variants, including the Duckling, evoke the streamlined pre-war roadster aesthetic, combining classic coachwork with the simple and reliable mechanicals of the 2CV. Kit cars of this type have attracted a dedicated following in the Netherlands and Belgium, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate the combination of handcrafted character, accessible running costs, and distinctive visual appeal.
The car has an electronic ignition conversion and presents in good condition throughout, consistent with its history as a carefully completed self-build project. Dutch MOT (APK) is valid until April 2028, and inspection reports are available.
