One of the most recognizable cars in the world, the 2CV was celebrated for its robustness, economy and comfort – a rare combination for a low-cost car.
This especially fine example was built in France for the UK market, so right hand drive. The service booklet shows the car was delivered new to in Folkestone, Kent on June 5 1980.
The car was then sold to an Australian, on the Gold Coast. A few years later, it sold to Western Australia. The new owner had enjoyed holidaying around Europe in one in his youth and had wonderful memories. He sought the best 2CV he could find.
The car was kept in top condition, always garaged and used for recreational drives only. It was always thoroughly well maintained and regularly serviced. Invoices and the service booklet show the car’s maintenance history.
Unfortunately he passed away, but his wife held on to the beloved 2CV and occasionally made use of the car – only on sunny days. Today the car has covered just 42,673 miles (at the time of the photo session).
The service booklet and invoices in the car’s history file dating back to 2015 confirm this very low mileage is correct.
The Club was a ‘luxury’ version of the 2CV. It features the larger 602cc engine, with a more plush interior and distinctive interior and exterior trim.
All aspects of this car are in excellent condition. The external panels, paint, trim, lights, etc, are all excellent. The same goes for the interior – all very well kept and presented. And under the bonnet is the same – showing how good a carefully maintained, low mileage example of a 2CV can be.
The car drives very well too, exhibiting all the character that 2CVs are famous for.
Parts support and club network support for 2CVs is immensely strong worldwide, helping enjoyment of these cars.
The factory original books and a car cover go with the 2CV, as will the special plates UAC 650 (the car’s engine number) if sold to a WA buyer.
This is an extremely good example of the breed and very realistically priced.
