Citroen 2CV 1973 left hand drive. Fully restored in 1992 with new body shell, new wings, bonnet and quarter panels. Waxoyl injected into bodyshell etc. New stainless steel exhaust and bumpers, new interior and complete repaint. In other words; a very thorough restoration.
The car won best of show award at 2cv Registers Day at Combe Abbey and has been featured in YOUR CLASSIC and PRACTICAL CLASSIC AND CAR RESTORER MAGAZINES (1993) It was featured on the front page of 2CVGB news in 1997.
The recorded mileage is 39534 however we understand that a second hand engine was fitted at the time of the refit, so the engine will have done more miles than this. I don't know how exactly many.
The car has the original chassis which is in excellent condition. The car sailed through its MOT at the start of September 2010 and is offered for sale with a 2nd spare wheel, new style number plates (a previous MOT inspector insisted on them, even though others hadn't)! Also included; a spare speedometer, jack etc.
This is a beautiful car which starts on the button and is great fun to drive. We bought it September 2008 and used it for a year. It's been SORN since the spring of 2010 as we've been too busy to drive her. It's a very reluctant sale, but we think she should go to someone who has the time to drive her.
We have lots of bills and paperwork including letter s from previous owners with full details of restoration.

  • This 2cv used to Belong to the owner of the '2cv cottage' a specialist at Thrales end, Harpenden, Herts.

    I believe it won the 2cvgb clubs registers day prize in the early 90s for best 2cv from 1970-81. It also appeared on the front cover of the club magazine! I haven't seen it in years - nice to know it's still around!

  • Wow! I salute your knowledge.. you're 100% right! We have a copy of the magazine somewhere.Threre's also a story that it was used in the making of an episode of Dr Who? but we haven't been able to track down which episode.

    She's a beautiful car, sailed through her MOT last week. We're about to sell her as sadly we don't get much chance to use her.

    Thanks for commenting!
