The seller offers for sale this 2005 Citroën Cygnus, powered by a 602cc air-cooled flat-twin engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Finished in deep green over a red interior, this distinctive roadster combines pre-war sports car looks with the proven and easy-to-maintain running gear of the Citroën 2CV. According to the seller it carries build number 004, underlining its rarity and hand-built nature.
The Cygnus belongs to the appealing tradition of Citroën-based special-bodied roadsters, in which the simple and reliable 2CV platform is clothed in an elegant, classically styled open body. The result is a lightweight, characterful car that delivers a charming and involving driving experience far removed from modern motoring. The flat-twin engine and gentle suspension encourage a relaxed pace, while the long bonnet, free-standing headlamps and cut-down doors give the car genuine vintage flair and a real sense of occasion.
Cars of this type have a devoted following thanks to their individuality, their straightforward air-cooled mechanicals and the sheer enjoyment they offer on a sunny day. With its eye-catching green over red colour scheme and low build number, this Cygnus stands out as a fun and unusual addition to any collection, ready to bring a smile on every outing.
