Citroën 2 CV 6

Comments

These vehicles were intended for loading the GEFCO car transporter. They have been replaced by DSuper Norev.

The headlights’ surrounding is much too thick.

The decoration, based on that of the 2 CV Charleston, seems very whimsical to me: even the black / burgundy version, the nearest, has its colours reversed compared to the original! In addition, these limited series had round, not rectangular, headlights.

History

The 2 CV with rectangular headlights appeared in 1975; the special two-colour series (Charleston) from 1981.

The 2 CV were produced in Levallois-Perret.
