Citroen 2CV Submodels
The Citroën 2CV was conceived before WWII as simple, rugged transportation for rural France. Its design brief famously required it to carry 2 farmers and 50 kg of potatoes across a plowed field without breaking a single egg. Produced from 1948 to 1990 with minimal changes, its air-cooled flat-twin engine and long-travel interconnected suspension defined its character.
Collectors appreciate the 2CV for its profound simplicity, counter-culture charm, and historical significance. It's a car that's not about speed but about the experience, from the umbrella-handle shifter to the full-length rollback canvas roof. A strong enthusiast community and good parts availability make ownership approachable and fun.
Buying Tips
- The chassis is the most critical area; inspect it thoroughly for rust, especially the frame rails and floors.
- The simple air-cooled twin-cylinder engine is robust, but check for oil leaks from the pushrod tube seals.
- Test the unique suspension by pushing down on a corner; the car should rise up evenly.
- Check the condition of the canvas roof for tears and leaks, as replacements can be costly.
