Citroen 2CV 6 Speciale '84 1984

General description : Imported from Italy Original chassis in good condition (protected), this ihas become increasingly rare Production France (better than the later cars from Portugal) Equipped with two separate seats in front instead of bench Equipped with chrome wheel discs Recently put in perfect order and inspected (MOT ) in Belgium (2022) After the death of André Citroën and the takeover of the company by tire manufacturer Michelin, the new management of car manufacturer Citroën decided in 1935 to develop a small car that should be suitable for the rugged French countryside: the TPV, or Toute Petite Voiture. Project leader and driving force Pierre-Jules Boulanger described the goal as 'an umbrella on four wheels'. Based on market research, it was decided that it should be a vehicle that could transport two farmers with 50 kilograms of potatoes or a barrel with 50 liters of wine. The story also goes that it should be possible to take a sheep in the car. The car had to be so comfortable that eggs in a basket would not break when the car drove over a piece of ploughed land. Other requirements were that the car had to be economical, reliable, cheap and easy to operate. A farmer's wife had to be able to drive it to the market. On Sundays, the farmer had to fit in with a hat so that he could go to church by car. The appearance of the car was not considered important. A car was developed that met most of those requirements, but it was certainly not ready for production. Citroën planned to present a prototype of the car at the Salon d'Automobile in October 1939, but due to the Second World War, the Salon was cancelled. After the war, and after a thorough change of the original design, the car was presented to the press and public on 23 March 1948. A journalist would have called the cart the ugly duckling and this name has become a nickname in the Netherlands. In the beginning of its production, the 2CV was mainly supplied to farmers (primary target group), healthcare providers such as general practitioners and well-known French artists (free advertising). The French rural people were immediately enthusiastic, which increased the waiting time to three years. In 1952, the Netherlands was the first export country for the 2CV. However, the car was sold poorly here in the beginning, probably because of its appearance. Later versions became cult vehicles, just like elsewhere in Europe. The ugly duckling can join automotive icons such as the Volkswagen Beetle, the Morris Minor, the Mini and the Fiat 500.

About Citroen
French industrialist André Citroën had been building arms for the French army during WWI by the end of the war he was left with great industrial facilities but no product for the post war market.

In 1919 he founded Citroen that became the first mass-production car company outside the USA[3] and a pioneer of the modern marketing as well as factory backed services network. Mind you, even Eiffel Tower served as a billboard for Citroën from 1925 to 1934 -Mon Dieu, monsier!

Soon Citroën earned a reputation for innovation and revolutionary engineering. Staying true to their slogan "Créative Technologie" Citroën has many "firsts" under their belt:

Europe’s first all-steel-bodied car, the B10 In 1934.

The world's first mass-produced front-wheel drive car,Traction Avant, (also one of the first cars to feature a monocoque-type body)

The world's first hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension system, introduced with the revolutionary Citroën DS / ID models in 1955, as well as the first production car with disc brakes.

Swiveling headlights in 1967, and finally variable assist power steering in 1970

With Citroën purchasing Maserati in 1968 a door opened for a high speed GT-model that would compete with Ferrari, Aston Martin et. al, when introduced Citroen SM was the world's fastest fwd-car.
