This 2CV Type A has a clear history which accounts for its exceptionally well-preserved condition. It was sold new by its current owner’s grandfather, a Citroën dealer, and its first owner kept the 2CV and took great care of it until 1980, when he sold it back to the same dealer, after it had clocked up only 32,000 km from new! Since then, it has remained with the same family and has covered just under 34,500 km from new. Naturally, the 375 cc engine is the original unit and the car has retained all the details specific to the model year. The underbody, a weak point of the model, is perfectly sound. Apart from its exceedingly rare state of preservation for a model from this year, this example has an interesting ‘Raoul’ accessory boot lid, which significantly increases the luggage capacity. At the bottom of this is the marking specific to the first versions: ‘Bagages Max. 50 kg’. The first versions of the 2CV are sought after by collectors, but you would need to search for a long time before finding an example in such original condition and with such low mileage.
