Description

1971 Citroën 2CV Experience the charm of a bygone era with my exceptionally rare 1971 Citroën 2CV. With an astonishingly low mileage of only 11,935 miles ( the engine only has 8000 miles) this vehicle is not just a collector's item but a true time capsule that can also be enjoyed as a daily driver. Unique Features: * Authentic Vintage Parts: This 2CV boasts numerous original components from the 1950s and 1960s, including the distinctive bumper, rear logos, and the classic steering wheel. ...

Our Take:
  • Icon of French Ingenuity: The Citroën 2CV, often affectionately called the "Deux Chevaux" (which literally means "two horses"), is a quintessential symbol of French automotive design. Initially conceived as a simple, affordable car for rural France, it morphed into an icon of minimalism, much like Bauhaus architecture but on wheels. With its manual transmission and straightforward mechanics, it offers a different kind of driving joy—where simplicity triumphs over complexity.
  • Rarity and Low Mileage: This particular 1971 model stands out for its exceptionally low mileage of just 11,934 miles. This is quite a rarity considering many of these cars were driven as daily workhorses across the European countryside. The low engine mileage of 8,000 miles further adds to its allure, making it practically a museum piece that you can take for a Sunday run without worry.
  • Historic Design Features: The suicide doors and six-window design are nods to the vintage appeal of earlier 2CV models. Such features are not just rare but also revered—like spotting an original Fender Stratocaster with its sunburst finish. These design choices highlight Citroën's quirky but practical approach to vehicle design, making each drive a step back in time.
  • Maintained to Perfection: A rust-free body is quite the achievement for a car that’s over 50 years old, especially considering the 2CV's simple, utilitarian beginnings. With recent maintenance investments exceeding $2,000, this car represents not just a slice of history but a well-preserved one at that. It's like finding a vintage bottle of wine that has aged impeccably well—ready to be savored.
