– Fun and straightforward project for an enthusiast
Few cars are as closely associated with the streets of France as the Citroën 2CV. The model was introduced at the 1948 Paris Motor Show as affordable transportation for rural areas: simple, economical, and surprisingly comfortable. Flaminio Bertoni’s design proved timeless, as the 2CV remained in production until 1990 and became one of Europe’s most beloved classics. Under the bonnet of this 1982 2CV6 Spécial lies the familiar 602cc air-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine, paired with the characteristic manual transmission featuring a dashboard-mounted gear lever. This car was originally delivered in the Netherlands and remained in the possession of its last owner for many years. Following the owner’s passing, the car is now being offered for sale. The 2CV has been standing unused for the past eight years and currently does not drive, brake, or shift gears. Thanks to its simple and accessible engineering, it presents a fun and manageable project for an enthusiast who enjoys working on classic cars. This car does NOT drive, brake, or shift gears.
The light green paintwork perfectly complements the cheerful, rounded shapes of the 2CV and contrasts beautifully with the black roll-back fabric roof. The round headlights with grey housings, grey steel wheels, trim strips along the sides, and classic taillights complete its instantly recognisable silhouette. This is an honest classic that shows its age, with the expected signs of use and wear that come with a project of this nature. Inside, you will find the characteristic bench seats upholstered in dark striped fabric, the minimalist black dashboard with its round speedometer, and the steering wheel featuring the double-chevron logo. A charming surprise is the Persian rug on the floor, giving the interior a distinctive and quirky character. The dark interior provides a fresh contrast to the light green exterior and perfectly captures the carefree spirit that makes the 2CV so popular.
