I am on my third 2CV6 from new. 1978, 1982, 1990. Travelled a total of 550,000 km over 40 years. More 'Smiles per Mile' than any car on the planet. Like having a cute puppy dog, makes friends everywhere you go. I drove my 1982 car new from Paris. for 15 months across Europe, England, Ireland, Canada & USA, before shipping it back to Sydney from San Francisco. So French, different, wonderful and practical. Seats flip out for picnics!!

Hi, I'm in Israel. I had a 2CV years ago, when I was a student, and after that - a Dyane 6. As mentioned in the video, the rear seat comes out in a matter of seconds, and is astonishingly lightweight. This (and the opening roof) comes in handy not only when you need more cargo space, but also on outings and picnics. It makes for a super-comfortable mobile outdoor sofa!

Hi from the UK. I have owned a Bamboo version of the 2cv from new, and have covered 215000 miles in it to date. It is an amazing car! Having owned sports cars and various 'modern' vehicles this one beats them all hands down. Quirky, reliable, and has probably the best suspension ever devised on a car, it has been part of our family for 30 odd years. It can carry enormous loads with the rear seat removed, and you can also use the said rear seat when removed just to relax in and enjoy the view when on a day out. May I wish you many years of good motoring in the future, and remember, a 2cv is the best 'stress buster' ever devised. Looking at your car, it surely has to be a Noel Slade purchase. He is truly a great mechanic for these cars, and it is his dad that started us on this 2cv journey all those years ago here in England. Regards.e

My dream car as a child in the 1960’s. Around 1973 I started to save for one with my pocket money. After one year inflation had increased the price of the 2CV more than I had saved up and put aside so I gave it up. It’s a cruel world 😔 Still a marvelously engineering tour de force. In 1948 the Citroën had nailed it. Center point steering, inboard brakes, interconnected springs, roll axis at ground level, front and rear, (Ralph Nader should have looked at its suspension geometry and then have written a book called “safe at any speed) ultra hyper low center of gravity, front wheel drive. And the list goes on and on and

It was an amazing construction, easy to drive, forgiving about any fault, starting instantly at -20°C … unless a Citroën workshop had hands on it. Workshops spoiled everything, their only standard was that a mechanic must have a wrench in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other hand. They didn't even fine-tune the ignition - a task that a 6-years-old can easily learn.

There are no springs in the seats but a series of rubber O rings with a metal hook at opposite ends that hook between the metal seat frame and a woven panel. The foam padded seat cover rests on this and the whole affair is much lighter than having springs.That wheel brace "loosens" three bolts to remove the entire front fender/wing, the bolts don't even have to be removed completely since there are slots in the fender bracket allowing them to be pulled away.The rear trunk/boot panel when opened can be slid sideways to remove no tools needed same with rear doors lifted vertically. The metal flourish on top of each headlamp can be pressed down to release the glass and reflector for changing a bulb again no tools needed.Another advantage and something possibly unique to the 2CV is a total lack of rubber hydraulic brake hoses eliminating items that require periodic replacement. I could go on and on.

+RideswithChuck OK, the engine can be lifted from its mountings by an able person, the odd gear select pattern was chosen putting second and third gears opposite each other because they are the most used ratios after initial start. Fourth gear is a high cruise ratio. There is an inbuilt oil cooler for longevity, for simplicity no distributor and as a result the spark plugs have a redundant spark on the exhaust stroke! No timing chain to wear and create noise or break instead a single gear which is split in half and spring loaded to compensate for wear driving the cam. No head gaskets just a perfectly machined cylinder barrel and head. A low frequency suspension system that is more "in tune" with the human natural walking gait than other systems adding comfort. Concealed from the elements rack and pinion steering system which being mounted in the front suspension cross tube is together with the rear cross tube only attached to the chassis at four points. The lite weight punt chassis use and suspension design deserves an article on its own since it's unique in the automotive field totally unlike conventional chassis built cars.

I have fond memories of the 2CV aka deudeuche as we call it at home. I was 11 years old and living in Africa. During a summer camp in the bush run by our school headmaster and 3 nuns, I had a bad fall resulting in both my shoulder and elbow being dislocated. We were about 230km away from the next hospital. Thank God the headmaster opted to take me to hospital in the Nuns’ 2CV instead of the camp Land Rover. I was made as comfortable as possible at the back of the car with my legs on Sister Thérèse's lap and it took us nearly 5 hours driving on a bush track full of potholes all the way. Without any pain killer, I still remember not having suffered too much. Finally, we arrived past Midnight at the hospital where I was taken care of, and that … was painful. I just fainted.

My Mum had one of these at the end of the 70s and I learned to drive in it. Once I knew how to drive I drove it a lot. There were many of these in the UK where I live but not as many as in France where they were ubiquitous. You can drive the 2CV at maximum speed just fine. The 602 cc ones would do about 65 and would sit at that speed all day if need be. If you are French and you say "2CV" it sounds just like "Deux Cheveaux" which is French for two horses. That is why Citroën called it that. My Mum and I liked that and we always called hers the Deux Cheveaux. The seats come out of the car and can be used self standing as seats in a picnic. The 2CV is ideal for crossing the countryside but it is not ideal as a town car. I think the steering was a bit heavy and the gear-change was a bit slow for city use. That is if I remember driving this car correctly, it was many years ago.

the basic design from the 2cv is much older as 1948: it's based on the 1939 Citroën TPV, who was ready to launch for the "salon de Paris" 1939 ...who never happens because the war...the TPV had a 2cyl boxer, but water cooled, and a aluminium body...~250 TPV was built, but never sale, only 5 survive, 4 hidden in the Citroën test center and 1 by Michelin...

I remember the face of the guys on modern car (Golf, Audi, Renault..etc) when we pass them on higway. At 150 Km/h it was like we going at 250 Km/h with the noise of the motor and the wind and vibrations, it was like we were in a WW1 Aeroplane. :)

It was a minimalist, rustic, useful and cheap car. For farmers at first, but in the 70s it was also a car for hippies, then it became a car with a certain "art of living" fun, simple and that did not consume much. Citroen made a modern version of it: The DIane, but it wasn't the same thing. They stopped the modern and continued to produce the old 2CV. I think the French liked it as it was.... even if it was obsolete on many points. I liked mine, even though I was cold in it and I didn't hear the music because it was so noisy. But I felt joyful and free.

There are a number of Citroens in my town. I don't know why but I like it.

My first, second and third car was a Citroen 2CV. Stil I drive Citroen, now a C2. It is just as much fun. I still hope that Citroen comes with a retro 2CV.

The 2CV was not specifically sold to farmers, but to anyone needing cheap transport. Un Germany the 2CV initially was more expensive than the VW bug.
