Supplied by Citroen Berkeley Square on 6th October 1989, the car was subsequently sold to its second keeper in September 1990, who remarkably kept it for a further 26 years covering just 5000 miles before being taken off the road in 1997 at 5877 miles.

Having been correctly stored throughout the last 20 years, it sailed through its MOT requiring just a new coil, condenser/points and battery. This work was undertaken via Mark Waghorn in Battersea who is highly regarded in the Citroen world having raced, restored and been closely associated with the French marque for many years. Certainly his opinion is worthy of note, so it was of no surprise when he gave it a resounding thumbs up, but certainly for him this car being on its original chassis was a huge bonus, as the driving and handling is vastly superior when compared to a restored/re-chassed car.

As you can see from the photographs, other than a little mark on the front wing, the whole car was in superb condition and virtually without fault, including the very original interior where there are no rips or tears in the seats or roof.

2CV's have always been enormously practical, oddly roomy and surprisingly rapid and always a sheer joy to drive. This car was probably the most original 2CV on the market.
