Description: The 2CV is an odd little car that sold by the million but is still more popular today, 15 years after production ceased, than it was in its heyday. Designed as a purely practical means of transport for rural French people, it became a way of life and even a fashion statement. This excellent book takes us through the story of the Deux Chevaux from conception in the 1930s to the final cessation of production in Portugal in 1990 after a production life of over 40 years. It tells of the variations on the 2CV theme, the Sahara, Dyane, Mehari, Bijou, Ami, Fourgonnette, Acadiane van and more, produced during the life of the basic car, which outlasted them all. The 2CV sedan was the first and last model produced. It is a success story that can never be repeated and well told by a lover of the little Citroen in this most comprehensive of all English language histories of the 2CV.
