Vehicle Description
The Citroen 2CV was a very revolutionary car for France. Conceived
before WWII, the design was to provide the French people with a
cheap car in the same image of the Ford Model T or VW Beetle. Using
extremely simple and durable designs for a low cost, the 2CV was an
ingenious design. The car was so inexpensive to purchase and
operate and was capable on and off the road in the rough French
countryside. It could seat four people and their luggage as well as
reach a decent top speed. It was describe as a world car like none
other and over 9 million 2CVs and their variants were sold from
1948 to 1990.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this very unique 1968 example
for your consideration. The current owner bought the car in
California where it was most likely imported. It features a two
tone burgundy and black exterior and a grey interior. Overall the
condition of the car is excellent with minimal marks or damage. The
glass is intact and the car appears to be fully functioning. While
early models came with a 373cc H2 cylinder that pumped out a
breathtaking 9 hp, this model appear to have the 602cc H2 that
produces about 29hp. It is mated to a unique "twist" style manual
gear selector which controls a 4-speed manual. The current owner
says that the clutch, new top, and new top have been recently
installed.
Some of the cool features of this car included a full length
sliding cloth sunroof, glass windows, interior seats, and exterior
door handles. A masterpiece in minimalist engineering, these cars
put millions of people on wheels and are well loved around the
world. Pick up a unique piece of history today!
