Forty years of the 2CV

Only Citroen could have done it — keep the 2CV in production for 40 years and mark this with an honest Press handout which admits to failures as well as to this phenomenal sales success.

It openly links the inimitable 2CV with the Model T Ford, Volkswagen Beetle and Mini, and even contains some errors which render it as individual as the car itself; some think the typist in a foreign land who was presumably responsible for the translation should be given immediately a 2CV of her own!

Motor Sport offers birthday-year congratulations to the ageless and classless economy-car that is as instantly recognisable as an unbroken egg.
