1972 Citroën Grey cloth Additional Info:
You are bidding on a rare, authentic 1982 yellow and black 2vc Charleston. As per common practice, it was registered years ago as a '72 and that has continued. This car is in excellent condition and is driven daily in nice weather. Bearing 84,558 original kilometers, (about 52,000 miles) it is solid throughout and can be driven any distance as is. The frame is solid and rust free. The car features a new master cylinder and fluid reservoir and new front disk pads. The interior was replaced a few years ago in the original pattern and color and is like new. Tires are decent but not new. While it is an excellent daily driver, a few cosmetic flaws need to be addressed to make it perfect. The top is relatively new but a while ago, when opened in the half way position, a strong gust of wind blew it back, resulting in tears of a few inches where it attaches to the body on each aide. This has not caused any rain to enter, however, and remains more of a cosmetic flaw than anything else. Since that time I just roll the top back completely and fasten with the straps provided. A slight ding in the trunk lid was covered with the wrong yellow paint as shown in photo. An easy fix, I have been meaning to get some helios jaune color paint to touch it up but never got around to it. There are also little white dots on the black area of the inner door. Again these can easily be touched up. The black fenders appear to have been retouched at some time, but the yellow and the decals look original with minor nicks here and there that can be easily addressed. The car always starts and always runs flawlessly. We had it up to 75 miles per hour circling Richmond Raceway during a promotional event. Bottom line, this a great original Charleston in the rarest of color combinations. These cars are rapidly appreciating and this one is priced to sell with all of its minor flaws taken into consideration. We are located south of Richmond Virginia, with easy access to I-85 and I-95.
