1959 Citroën 2CV AZ - Lot 1

1959 Citroën 2CV AZ French collector's vehicle registration certificate Chassis number: 2355546 4-speed manual transmission Mileage: 8,109 km Officially unveiled to the public at the Paris Motor Show in October 1948, the 2CV surprised viewers with its unusual appearance and divided opinion among visitors. However, as soon as it hit the market in 1950, it became an instant sensation. Demand far exceeded production capacity, and some customers had to wait several years before taking delivery of their vehicle. A true symbol of mobility and freedom, the 2 CV would accompany several generations of drivers. Produced for more than four decades, it underwent numerous updates while retaining its original identity. When production ended in 1990, Citroën would have assembled more than five million units worldwide, making the 2 CV one of the most iconic French cars of the 20th century. The 2 CV we are presenting is a rare 1959 AZ model, recognizable by its legendary “suicide” doors. Now presented following a complete restoration—from the floor pan to the mechanical components—this 2 CV, equipped with its centrifugal clutch, is in exceptional condition. The gearshift is very smooth, making this a superb collector’s car suitable for all types of collectors. With its fully convertible top, repainted and fully restored by Atelier Classique in Beaune, you’ll have no reason to worry about its maintenance in the coming months. This sturdy and rustic 2CV represents a genuine opportunity to acquire a piece of French automotive history.
