Citroën 2CV AZ, year 1957. Colour pale blue combined with red interior upholstery. The Citroën 2CV is an automobile icon of the calibre VW Beetle, Morris Mini, and Fiat 500. The 2CV was developed to give French farmers a simple yet reliable (and cheap) car for all daily tasks under all possible (road) conditions. The design of the 2CV was drawn by the Italian designer Flaminio Bertoni who was also responsible for the gorgeous Citroën ID/DS. This 2CV was imported form Montpellier in France to the Netherlands in 1997. The 2CV is in a very good and super original condition, and it has driven only 45.300 kilometres from new. Since 1997 the car has known only one owner. Like the VW ‘Beetle’ the 2CV is commonly known by its nick name in European countries. In the Netherlands the car is named ‘Lelijke Eend’ or just ‘Eend’ (Ugly Duck or Duck), ‘Ente’ (Duck) in Germany, ‘Wippertje’ (bouncer) and ‘Geit’ (Goat) in Belgium, ‘La Deuce’ in France, and ‘Tin Snail’ in the United Kingdom. About 5 million Citroën 2CV cars were produced from 1949 until 1990. The car is powered by a 424cc air-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine which drives the front wheels through a 4-speed manually operated gearbox. This super original and wonderfully preserved 2CV comes with the original instruction manual and a very special boot accessory. The car is fitted with the correct Michelin tyres. This 2CV is a fantastic time capsule! Series production of the 2CV ran from July 11, 1949 to July 27, 1990. In that period, 5,144,966 were built, of which 3,898,631 2CV ducks and 1,246,335 2CV vans; this number rises to nearly 9 million when sister models Dyane, Ami, Méhari and FAF are included. The appearance of the 2CV was designed by Flaminio Bertoni. This is a unique opportunity to expand your collection. We speak Dutch, English , German and French.
