1978 Citroen 2CV

The Umbrella on wheels as it was often referred to was not fast by any stretch of the imagination but was very reliable and economical both to drive and maintain. Furtthermore, this car was a staple of the French from 1948 through 1990, over forty years. They were known for there very soft suspension with the claim to fame of carrying a dozen eggs across a freshly plowed field with out any eggs breaking. I guess, you have to start somewhere. It has a history much like the VW Beetle of Germany. Both were meant to be affordable and easy to maintain. Both cars saw a Million units their lifetime. This particular absolute stunning example is one of the nicest 2CV's I have ever seen let alone had in the shop. It was restored in France and imported several years ago traveling less than 800 miles since the restoration. This was a no expense, body off restored Citroen with everything getting touched. The paint is excellent, the car starts perfectly, all the lights work, the car idles nicely and goes down the road pretty much exactly how its supposed to. This 2CV has no funky noises or smells and does not rattle at all. All in all a very comfortable car to drive with no needs whatsoever. If you want a concourse quality restoration and something different than your neighbor without breaking the bank then this car needs a second look for sure.
