CITROEN 2CV "CHARLESTON"

Description

The 2CV was first presented to the public in 1948. With this puristic, economical small car that was easy to maintain and simple to operate, Citroën offered a robust mass-produced people’s car that had suitably good suspension for use on the sparsely built up road network. From 1981, by which time the 2CV had long been a cult object, a two-colour version was launched, the red and black 2 CV 6 Charleston which, in September 1982, was followed by a yellow and black version, both equipped with an air-cooled, 29 hp, 0.6 litre, two-cylinder horizontally opposed engine. Like the original, the model kit offers chrome wheel hubs, the typical chrome head lamps, with a multi-part engine and naturally a movable bonnet. (Scale : 1/24e)
