1963 Citroën 2 CV type az Additional Info:

Had engine professionally rebuilt, new upholstery, new roof. Runs great. Always garaged, never used in winter. The frame is under coated. There is minor rust at the bottoms of the door pillars otherwise frame is clean. Please see pictures. This is a CITROEN CV2. A lollypop, characterful, ancient Citroen that has become legend. Produced between 1948 and 1990 (yes, that really is 42 years of production), the 2CV (deux-cheveaux or ‘two horses’) was originally conceived in the late Thirties as a rugged, useful, affordable car. Famously, it was designed with very specific requirements, including being able to carry four people and 50kg of goods at 30mph, across muddy and unpaved roads if necessary. In fact, it was suggested at the prototype stage that the 2CV should be able to carry a basket of eggs across a ploughed field without whipping up an interior omelette, and also manage something like 80mpg while doing so. That’s one hell of a design brief, and yet, after quite a few prototypes, Citroen actually managed it. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/top-gear-series-25/everything-you-need-know-about-citroen-2cv
