Présentée au Salon de Paris en 1948, la Citroën 2 CV allait profondément marquer l’histoire automobile française. Conçue autour de principes de simplicité, d’économie et de robustesse, elle associait une mécanique bicylindre refroidie par air à une ingénieuse suspension à grand débattement, lui procurant un confort et une aisance remarquables sur les routes difficiles de l’époque. En 1954, la 2 CV reçoit un moteur porté à 425 cm³, qui accompagne les différentes évolutions du modèle au cours de la décennie. Les exemplaires des années 1950 sont aujourd’hui particulièrement appréciés pour leur présentation encore très proche des premières 2 CV.
Datant de 1957, la voiture proposée ici possède justement tout le charme de ces premières générations. Elle arbore le caractéristique capot ondulé ainsi que les petits feux arrière typiques de cette période. Son habitacle reçoit une séduisante sellerie en tissu à rayures associant deux tons de vert, parfaitement dans l’esprit du modèle. Cette 2 CV a bénéficié d’une restauration complète et se présente aujourd’hui dans un superbe état. Carrosserie, habitacle et détails de présentation témoignent du soin apporté à sa remise en état.
Le propriétaire actuel l’a acheté il y a quatre ans en Hollande alors que sa restauration venait d’être achevée pour l’utiliser dans sa propriété de Saint-Tropez. Trop occupé par son travail, il n’aura pas beaucoup l’occasion de s’en servir et préfère la transmettre à un collectionneur passionné.

1957 Citroën 2 CV
Unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1948, the Citroën 2 CV would leave a lasting mark on French automotive history. Designed around the principles of simplicity, economy, and durability, it combined an air-cooled two-cylinder engine with an ingenious long-travel suspension, providing remarkable comfort and ease of handling on the rough roads of the time. In 1954, the 2 CV was equipped with an engine increased to 425 cm³, which remained a staple across the model’s various iterations throughout the decade. Models from the 1950s are particularly prized today for their appearance, which remains very close to that of the earliest 2 CVs.
Dating from 1957, the car offered here embodies all the charm of those early generations. It features the characteristic corrugated hood as well as the small taillights typical of that period. Its interior is upholstered in attractive striped fabric combining two shades of green, perfectly in keeping with the model’s spirit. This 2 CV has undergone a complete restoration and is now in superb condition. The bodywork, interior, and finishing touches all attest to the care taken in its restoration.
The current owner bought it four years ago in the Netherlands, shortly after its restoration was completed, with the intention of using it at his property in Saint-Tropez. Since he is too busy with his work, he won’t have much opportunity to use it and would rather pass it on to a passionate collector.
