1964 | Citroën 2 CV

This iconic vehicle is familiar to everyone and just the thought of it instantly brings a smile to the face. You are immediately aware that it is a Citroën, and if you have tried to drive one of the more than 9 million variants of it, you will never forget it. Umbrella gears, the world's softest suspension and lack of horsepower are some of the elements that make the experience completely special.

Our 2CV is imported from France, and is like taken out of a movie. You can almost see Peter Sellers driving it as Inspector Clouseau, and the car offers raw charm and huge entertainment value for every kilometer you drive in it – not to mention attention.

With 424 ccm and a staggering 18 HP, you can be absolutely sure that you won't come first from the start and that's fine. It means nothing, and with a top speed of 95 km/h you won't get a speeding ticket either, but you'll probably get there, because when the 2cv is presented in 1948, the concept is clear: It must be a cheap, simple and reliable car, so ordinary French people can also get to drive a car instead of a horse-drawn carriage! That's why there's front-wheel drive, the two-cylinder boxer engine is air-cooled and you get air conditioning by tilting up the side window – no need to roll the window up and down – it just breaks and it weighs. There is no radio, no tachometer and no fuel gauge. On the other hand, what is actually there works flawlessly and never breaks! You will love this like Clouseau and James Bond.
