*Rare 2CV vintage ripple van

*Unique Michelin tyre livery
*Low mileage and single family ownership until 2014

The Citroen 2CV is a French classic that is world renowned for its incredible versatility. This 2CV Fourgonette is a prime example of that, and is now also increasingly rare. This low mileage 1958 example was imported into the UK from France in 2014, and had been previously owned by a single family in France since new. The car has since undergone a complete ground up restoration with all the receipts, photos and documents included. The van has had a new exhaust, wings, brakes, tyres, battery and many other new parts. The van has also been rewired with everything working as it should. The body has received fresh paintwork being finished in the iconic Gris Clair colour scheme. The chassis has also received extensive work, and has been finished in gloss black to ensure protection. The van runs and drives very well, and is fitted with front indicators for safety purposes (these can also be removed if desired). A spare fan, clutch and plate is included in the sale. The mileage is incredibly low for a vehicle of this age at 26,400km, and also comes with a large history file. This 2CV could certainly provide an incoming owner with much enjoyment and practicality for many more years to come.
