1988 Citroen 2CV6 Dolly 34571 miles - Original For Sale

1988 Citroen 2CV6 Dolly
History of the 2CV
The Citroen 2CV, or Deux Chevaux, was launched at the 1948 Paris Motor show. Between 1948 and 1990 five million examples were produced. The little automobile became an instant hit with its renowned economy, reliability, and talent for navigating the roughest of roads even carrying farmers across their ploughed fields, with a basket of eggs on the lap and a bag of potatoes in the boot. Powered by a 2-cylinder 602cc air cooled engine producing 29bhp the 2CV is able to carry four passengers and luggage up to a claimed top speed of 71mph. I personally can cruise at 70 mph on the highway! There is plenty of headspace. If you have not driven a 2CV you simply have not driven! The 2CV is more than a car – It’s a lifestyle! Much loved by their owners Citroën 2CV that have survived 42 years of production have become iconic collector’s items. According to Top Gear, because of the narrowness of the front tyres and long-travel suspension, it’s pretty much impossible to roll a 2CV. The 2CV boasts a vent under the windscreen to keep you cool on hot days.
Dolly’s History
Our 1988 Citroen 2CV6 Dolly’s motor sounds great and is a wonderful driving experience combining adventure and fun. Guaranteed to make everyone smile!! This is a four-seater "convertible" with an air-cooled engine and no window winders! Her seats are as comfortable as an arm chair. The gear-shift is a little unusual but only takes a couple of minutes to get used to.
This original UK car, first registered on the 20 January 1988, is in very good original condition, having been driven only a mere 34, 571 miles. She has been maintained, but never restored. Her under-carriage and inside panels were treated with Waxoyl in the past. The best I can piece her history together is that she was on the road for the first 8 years of her life. She was then sold to a collector and most of the 1990s through to 2013 was in storage as part of a large collection. She was then sold to an investor who acquired the car on 1 October 2013. He never drove her and kept her garaged. He sold the vehicle to me on 20 January 2014 having done only 31, 580 miles. This is supported by the available history and more importantly by the way the car drives, as the suspension, handling and transmission etc. are (for a 2CV) relatively tight. She has just passed her latest MOT without any advisories. Spares are still freely available this lovely old girl. The arguments for buying a 2CV in the 1970s and 80s still hold good today for buying one as an adventure in classic motoring; simplicity, practicality and simply just having fun!
Dolly was well cared for, maintained and looked after while I owned her. She was garaged and only ventured out on sunny days. We serviced her regularly and fitted a 1-2-3 ignition to improve the running experience and economy. She is equipped with sound insulation, boot cover / magazine rack, cigarette lighter attachment to plug GPS into and thick carpets. The does have some rust and a few minor dents. Included is a copy of a 1975 owner’s manual as well as some workshop manuals, including the Haynes and RAC versions. Sold as is.
Sadly, Dolly and I have to part ways as I am relocating to a different continent and I cannot take her along.
Please call to Theo Tel: the details below to make an appointment to see her.
