Comments from the seller

This 1955 Citroën 2CV is a rare and charming example of one of France's most iconic automobiles, carefully preserved as a dedicated club vehicle. Renowned for its simplicity, practicality, and distinctive design, this early 2CV offers enthusiasts a genuine glimpse into automotive history, featuring original components and a well-maintained exterior and interior. As a vintage classic, it represents a significant piece of motoring heritage and is ideal for display at car clubs, shows, or leisurely drives. One of the most notable aspects of this 2CV is that it is one of the rare versions built specifically for the UK and Commonwealth markets, assembled in Slough, England. Among the various 2CV models, the Sahara stands out as the rarest, closely followed by the Slough-assembled variants. I've owned the vehicle for several years, but due to limited space, I am reluctantly offering it for sale. Early models with the 425cc engine and trafficator clutch provide a unique driving experience compared to later versions. These factory-built right-hand-drive models are seldom available for sale.
