Seller's comments about 1958' Citroen 2CV
1958 CITROEN 2CV CH LUXE AZ Model LHD
9500kms / 5900 miles from new
Charmingly finished in French Gris Clair a superb light green/ grey with co-ordinating fabric trim deckchair seats and an impressive total 2 owners in 65 years. UK registered and import tax paid, includes the period registration number 735 UYO and is MoT and road tax exempt.
Supplied new to a Citroen Dealership in Portugal in 1958 and sold by them to the first owner in Rio Tinto in the same year. In 1962 the rarely used car sustained damage to the bonnet from local children climbing on it and was so replaced. The car was then safely placed in dry storage in the original Citroen Dealerships showroom where it remained pride of place for an astonishing 40 years - hence the very low mileage.
In 2016 the car was discovered by an English couple who negotiated with the Citroen Dealership and the original owner to successfully purchase the car and shipped it to the UK.
The car was fully recommissioned and restored as necessary and brought to as near to concours condition as possible in the UK. The only additions to the car were the electronic ignition and a Solex BCi Carburettor fitted. This eased starting and gave the vehicle an enhanced performance.
The vehicle was then sold to School Garage and later purchased by myself. The mileage has been warranted by Mrs and Mrs Vidler who imported the car as well as the Citroen Dealership and the original owner. We also have the documentation from School Garage warranting the mileage.
All evidence points to the fact that the car has original mileage of only 9500 kilometres which is approximately 5900 miles.
Features include: Left hand drive, suicide doors, full convertible fabric top, original deckchair fabric covered seats, club badge to front, unused spare wheel, unused toolkit, opening half horizontal windows and opening vent in front windscreen and an original sales brochure.
The history folder includes: Current V5, previous MoT certificates (confirming the mileage), DVLA info, Portuguese registration document, Portuguese customs and Excise paperwork, shipping paperwork, UK invoices for maintenance and servicing, correspondence, chassis number production figures, spark plug and timing information, Citroen 2CV Handbook, Citroen 2CV pocket mechanics booklet and original sales brochure.
It is rare to find a charming early Citroen 2CV in such stunning condition and it would make a perfect addition to any collection. £18995
