The seller offers for sale this 1965 Citroën 2CV AZAM, a well-preserved example of the iconic French people’s car. Finished in its original color, the car has been fully repainted and is described as being in beautiful cosmetic condition. It is equipped with a 1.4-litre two-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, staying true to the mechanical simplicity that defines the 2CV lineage.
The 2CV, or “Deux Chevaux,” was introduced in 1948 as Citroën’s answer to the need for simple, affordable transportation in rural post-war France. Known for its distinctive design, long-travel suspension, and ultra-lightweight construction, the 2CV was engineered to carry four people and 50 kg of luggage across unpaved roads while consuming minimal fuel. Over its four-decade production run, more than 5 million units were sold.
The AZAM model was one of the more refined versions introduced in the mid-1960s, positioned as a slightly more luxurious variant with additional chrome trim and comfort upgrades. By 1965, the 2CV had already evolved significantly, though it retained its signature flat-twin engine and minimalist philosophy. The charm of the AZAM lies in its blend of functional design and subtle elegance, marking the transition between early utility and later refinement.
Today, the 2CV remains a beloved symbol of French motoring history. Its quirky yet ingenious engineering, approachable design, and deep cultural roots have earned it a strong following across Europe and beyond. This particular AZAM, with its fresh paintwork and preserved interior, offers a usable entry into classic ownership or an appealing addition to a vintage collection. Its originality, visual condition, and road-ready status make it well-suited for summer drives, local events, or display.
