The Citroen 2 CV is regarded as a phenomenal achievement in automotive industrial history. It alI began with the TPV (Très Petite Voiture -very small car) study by the French Citroen company in 1936. The vehicle would be priced within everyone's reach and be capable of carrying four people plus their luggage Following the interruption by WWII, the 2 CV Citroen that evolved from this study was unveiled during the 1948 Paris Car Show. It was a tiny vehicle, full of unique and ingenious revelations. AlI body panels were easily removable for maintenance and/or replacement. The folding hood allowed transporting outsized things. The original suspension system, with inertia rods ensured a comfortable ride and excellent road-holding. | ||||||
| The very accessible, 375cc air cooled flat-twin engine required only limited maintenance: no water, a little oil and two spark plugs from time to time. Low priced and cheap to maintain, the 2 CV Citroen quickly became popular in those austere times. Later on, the 2 CV Citroen attracted more and more people in France and rest of the world, with its rustic non-conformist looks. Since 1948, more than thirly progressively improved versions of the 2 CV Citroen were released without a major alteration of its original body shape. The 1976 2 CV Citroen model is one of the latest evolutions, using a 425cc engine capable of 26hp at 7.000 rpm and a top speed of 110km/h. Production ended for the petite 2 CV in 1988 after 3,662,903 units rolled out of the factory. About Citroen | |||||||
