The seller offers for sale this 1979 Citroën 2CV6 Charleston, powered by a 602cc air-cooled flat-twin engine, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Presented in a striking red and black two-tone finish, this 2CV6 is an example of one of the most beloved and instantly recognisable cars ever built. It retains the model’s charming, minimalist character, with the simple dashboard, single-spoke steering wheel and full-length roll-back roof that define the 2CV experience. The car is offered in good, usable condition and the seller reports that it is mechanically sound.
Introduced in 1948 and produced until 1990, the Citroën 2CV was conceived as simple, affordable transport for the French countryside, famously designed to carry a basket of eggs across a ploughed field without breaking them. Its air-cooled flat-twin engine, long-travel interconnected suspension and featherweight construction gave it a unique blend of practicality, economy and durability. The later 2CV6, with its 602cc engine, is the most usable version for modern roads and is cherished worldwide as a symbol of French motoring history.
With its cheerful styling, distinctive engine note and unmistakable soft-top silhouette, the 2CV has become a genuine cult classic. This example combines that character with an attractive two-tone colour scheme and presents in good condition, making it an appealing entry into the world of air-cooled Citroën ownership.
