Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is pleased to present for sale
on consignment, this cool little 1967 Citroen 2CV that comes with
quite a story! A quick internet search done by yours truly revealed
a movie promo photo of Heather Graham, who played Felicity Shagwell
in the 1999 comedy, Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me, standing
in front of the back end of an Orange Citroen 2CV. According to the
owner, this was that car! A little digging revealed it was just a
promo photo and the car most likely did not make it into the movie
but everybody loves a good car story, right? This orange piece of
eye candy is powered by a small but mighty 375cc H2 Air Cooled gas
engine producing a mind boggling 9hp that is mated to a 4 speed
manual transmission, both believed to be untouched in terms of a
rebuild. You really can't help but grin and possibly giggle when
you get behind the wheel. The shifter location alone makes you feel
like you're in something other than a car. This car measures a
wheelbase of 94.5 inches, 152 inch overall length, 58.3 inches of
width and 63 inches high and weighs in at a feathery 1323lbs! The
seats legitimately look like lawn furniture but are surprisingly
comfortable and forgiving. This car features an AM Radio and cloth
seats. The orange body is all there but shows wear after 55 years
of coming off the production line. The split driver and passenger
windows flip up, rather than roll down to add to the uniqueness of
the car. There is a lot to take in on this car and the list of
differences from more traditional vehicles continue to grow the
more you look at it. This one is surely a conversation piece and a
rarity that is sure to blow people's minds when you roll in to your
local car show. Inquire with our sales department on how to welcome
this neat little piece of cinematic history into your collection
today!
