Sixtieth birthday of the 2CV CITROEN
Do you know this car?
It is about the 2CV CITROEN which one celebrates this year the 60th birthday in EUROPE. It was presented officially to the “ SALON DE L’AUTO de PARIS in 1948 . I thus propose to you on this address http://www.brusino.com/ecology/buildacitroen.html a series of 2CV sedans, trucks, vans as well as derived cars (even frame and even engine) These models are presented by type, year and color… These models are simple to realize (they are in fact boxes) To download them model, select the mitres: Personally, I have a DYANE 6 of 1972 which I use every day. It posts 67.000 km with the meter. Here a photograph of my car taken during the last Weekend during the SANCY DEUCHE (a tourist rally and an international concentration which took place in my area) I am carrying out a pickup like this one There exist more complex models to realize than you will find on these mitre Good recreation:D:D:D |

Those are some nice looking cars. Some would look good if done up in a Woodie scheme, although the owners would probably want them to be restored as close to the original as possible.

Great pics. They bring back fond memories, there are still a few driving round Bedford, even a van version!
I was lucky (old) enough to drive one some years ago - great fun, once i'd sorted out the gear change! Tim |

Wow that does bring back memories! I used to spend almost every weekend at my Grandmother's in a little town in Alsace back in the late '60's-70's.
Didn't they call them Deux Cheveaux? (2 horse) or something like that? My apolgies for my French. It's really terrible from lack of use Ron

Yes, this car really called mythical "Deux chevaux" ( "Two Horses") and his conduct (gearbox) can cause annoyance to people who are not accustomed :D:D:D

racing with CV2's
i even (a couple of years back) saw on the Eurosport channel a clip from England where they were actually racing with these cars :D:D:D
the best part from that clip was two guys jostling each other out for the best position after a long straight were car number two was slipstreaming behind the first one and overtaking him in the corner at the end of the straight i almost fell to the floor laughing when i saw it
