An addiction of great motoring delight...
45 years of joy from 3 new RHD 2CV6s
525, 000 manic kilometres.
More smiles per mile than anything on 4 wheels...
and the bonus of the seats clipping out for picnics...

Not many cars has as much charm as this Citroen.
Love the color on this late model...

When I was little we vactioned in France once in the early 80s and took a cab to Paris. The cab was a 2CV with the cabbie, my parents, and us two kids in it. The cabbie was a Parisien and it was late on a Friday and he apparently couldnt stand being out in the "rest" of France instead of in Paris. So he was driving like a madman. I still remember the odd smell of the uncatalytic converter engine, how it leaned almost over in turns, how the thing sounded like a lawn mower, and him passing on blind hills doing what seemed like 60mph with my dad in the front seat grabbing an OS handle.Well we came up behind a slow gravel truck and on a bump it dropped a load of gravel and completely shattered the front glass. We pulled over. The cabbie broke out the rest of the glass, found us all some sunglasses and away we went!
BTW I think 2CV is pronounced "DEAU-schwoe" and Citroen is pronounced "SEE-tro-en"

I totally get this guys enthusiasm - I have owned lots of cars but my 80;s 2CV made evey trip an adventure and friends were always keen to pile in - my biggest journey was Felixtow To Morocco returning via Italy and the Alps - mine had a low compression van engine so it tonked along in a mellow way

Great ! Good choice, I have had one for about 25 years and we are together for life 👍

Nice car. The only new car I ever bought was a 2CV in 1980. I still remember it fondly. Brilliant handling, smooth ride slick gear change a joy to drive.

Exactly like him. I live now in Ontario and my 2CV is my "best friend". Amazing car!

A charming, concise profile of the car, your love for it and your life with it!

Nice for the back roads.. love all the older citroens. Always great ride and great fun.Had a lot of fun with a gs back in the day. 1100cc but still good for over 90 which we could happily do back in the 80s

Awesome car. After each winter, I am so happy to drive my 2CV once a week too on Ontario roads.

Hello,
Your Deudeuche looks very well and have the real great sound (gear box, motor, exhaust) of an healthy 2CV.

[paulcooper]

Knew someone with one of these, and had a lovely Spring day ride on a scenic winding road many years ago.
As a non-owner, it seemed like a fun car.

Heard one first in Cherbourg it was a Flying Dustbin Van, careered round a cobbled corner and I fell in love. Owned one for several years amazing in all respects, handling in Snow! Carrying capacity (take the passenger and back seats out, easy) and fun to drive! 😍

Thanks, triggers great memories! My first Car in the 80ties in Hamburg Germany. Second Hand of course and affordable as a Uni-Student. An Umbrella on Wheels we jokingly named them. And fun we of it. 😉

I had a 1977 2CV4 in Germany. My first car, bought it brand new. This video brings back great memories. I don’t think there’s an other car in the world with which you can have as much fun as with what we call back home Ente ( Duck)!

True classic, thank for sharing this video. I wish I had one.

Wow, early 2020 I met Simon and the 2CV in St Alphonse Rodriguez, QC!
