Introduction
Adam Purrier
Nicknamed the tin-snail, it developed a quirky reputation throughout its lifespan and has become a true motoring icon.
The Citroën 2CV was first introduced in 1948 at Paris Mondial de l'Automobile and then manufactured for 42 years. It's a worthy contender and one that is completely justified when it appears on lists of cars you must drive before you die. Its post-war roots and specifications were incrementally enhanced throughout the course of its 42-year manufacturing run, but it never strayed from its original identity. With an unmistakable character, ride, and unique but always entertaining driving style, the 2CV has firmly planted itself into the history of the automobile.
This charming French classic comes to market following short term ownership and some recommissioning work, bringing the 2CV6 back to a good usable condition. It comes with a whole host of history, and was recently used by L'Oreal for a marketing campaign (see media for images and comments for a link to a video).
Some recent works include a new fuel tank and rear boot floor pan.
A remarkably solid example as showcased by the images and videos, and coming with a fresh and recent MOT.
This listing was written from information supplied by Adam after meeting Kulraj the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hello. Do you know if the wrap used was a ‘normal’ vinyl wrap?
Hi waltersr, I don’t know much about vinyl wrapping I’m afraid, I think it’s normal. What I do know is, is that it has been done professionally, you can see this from the way it’s been done in all the door-shuts etc. Hope that helps! Best, Kulraj
