Classic Citroen 2CV Car Review

Citroen 2CV
One of the first small cars to be produced in France after the last World War was the little 2CV, originally in 375cc form from 1948 to 1954, when the larger 425cc engine was introduced. The little engine, which would eventually be enlarged all the way up to 602 cc (and 29bhp) lasted until the end of production in 1982. Part of the charm of the 2CV is that everything is lightweight, the car weighing just 10cwt, its tiny engine developing from 18bhp to a dizzy 29bhp, the fuel tank capacity under four and a half gallons, the narrow tyres capable of cutting through ice and snow, yet still capable of carrying 4 adults, each with some luggage - and with considerable economy.

Newly restored 2CV6 Special '85 - cost me a fortune - but LOVE IT! The most charming babe magnet in the world ;-) Seriously, a lovely car, handles extremely well, a little noisy form sure and top speed just within the limits, but a roof to peel off during summer days. What more can you want? Except for a heater during winter of course But what does a scarf and glows cost? This is getting a life! Best thing happening to me! Cheers from a 'high street' turned fanatic.
