An icon of French motoring
Few cars embody the spirit of the French people’s car quite like the Citroën 2CV. Its history has its roots in the ‘TPV – Toute Petite Voiture’ project, launched in 1936 with the aim of offering an economical, versatile car that would be accessible to as many people as possible.
Unveiled to the public at the Paris Motor Show in October 1948, the 2CV enjoyed an exceptional run until 1990. Over 5.1 million units, including commercial versions, were produced during its long history.
Its deliberately simple design, its light weight, its suspension with its very distinctive ride quality, its folding soft top and its air-cooled twin-cylinder engine all contributed to making the 2CV much more than just a means of transport: it gradually became a genuine social phenomenon.
The 2CV4: simplicity and French charm
Appearing as part of the range’s evolution, the 2CV4 retains everything that defines the character of the 2CV whilst benefiting from a 435 cm³ engine. This engine would, notably, power the famous limited-edition 2CV Spot series a few years later.
The car remains true to the model’s original philosophy: simple mechanics, a modest weight and an instantly recognisable body. The six-window configuration of the example on offer also gives it the familiar look of 1970s 2CVs.
The car on offer
This 1974 Citroën 2CV4 has 60,880 km on the odometer.
The car was purchased and has only undergone work on its paintwork. The underbody has been inspected and requires no repair work, so it remains in its original condition. Presented in its original configuration – with the round headlights typical of the ’74 model year – the car features a grille in the style of earlier models.
The car retains all the charm that still makes the 2CV so popular today.
A USB stick containing photos of the bodywork restoration and the full vehicle inspection will be supplied with the car.
Condition and use
The car is in good overall condition and still offers everything one looks for in a 2CV: a lightweight, open-top car that is particularly enjoyable to drive on leisurely trips.
Before putting it back on the road, the available information suggests that mainly routine checks are required, notably the oil level and tyre pressure. The MOT is still to be carried out.
Key points
The 2CV now holds a special place in the world of classic cars. Simple to understand, instantly recognisable and associated with several generations of motorists, it remains one of the most endearing French cars.
This 1974 model, restored and presented in a slightly customised configuration, offers a wonderful opportunity to rediscover the very special pleasure of a 2CV: driving at a leisurely pace, opening the soft top and enjoying a car that turns every journey into a pleasure trip.
