The private seller offers for sale this 1983 Citroën 2CV6 Club, powered by a 602 cc air-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Originally delivered in white, the car underwent a substantial restoration at the end of the 1990s, at which point it was refinished in an attractive dark green. The seller notes that the paint has become slightly duller in places, something that can be addressed with a polish. Characterful details include chrome headlamps, whitewall tyres, a CD player and an audible warning for when the lights are left on. The odometer shows 44,650 km.
The current owner acquired the 2CV more than 25 years ago, shortly after the previous owner, an enthusiast, had completed its refurbishment. Since then it has always been maintained by an independent garage. The interior features the typical 2CV dashboard with its umbrella-handle gear lever, black seats front and rear and the full-length fabric roll-back roof that allows open-air motoring on a sunny day.
Conceived before the Second World War and launched in 1948, the Citroën 2CV was designed to carry two farmers and a basket of eggs across a ploughed field without breaking a single one. That brief produced one of the most ingenious and charming cars ever built, with its long-travel interconnected suspension, lightweight body and simple, robust air-cooled engine. Production continued until 1990, by which time more than five million had been built, and the 2CV had become a symbol of French culture and a much-loved icon across Europe.
The 2CV6 Club, with the larger 602 cc engine and the round headlamps, represents the definitive later form of the car, offering a little more performance for modern traffic while retaining the unmistakable character of the original. Light, frugal and full of personality, a well-kept 2CV remains one of the most enjoyable and accessible classics to own, and this long-term owned example with its striking colour combination is ready for many more summer drives.
