Following the successful reintroduction of the veteran 2CV to the British market, demand exceeded supply. Now after 27 years in production. Citroen in France have produced a model to the original formula, deleting later improvements like rear quarter windows,bigger seats, rectangular headlamps. All models have headlamp adjustment from the driving seat, sun roof and a simple flat twin air-cooled engine and suspension interconnected front-to-rear.

Although of only 602 cc the 2CV is a full four-seater saloon with four doors, all independent suspension, and a sunshine roof.

The air-cooled twin-cylinder engine drives the front wheels and the ride, developed for French farm tracks, is almost limousine-like. In these days of high fuel prices, conservation and inflation, the 50 mpg 2CV, which has been in production for 27 years, is a proposition worthy of consideration. The Headlight can be adjusted from the driving seat, and the heating, ventilation system is very effective. The 41/2 gallon tank gives a range of over 200 miles.
